Psalms
Chapter 73
1
A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
2
But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled, my steps had nearly slipped.
3
For I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4
For they have no pangs until death; their bodies are fat and sleek.
5
They are not in trouble as others are; they are not stricken like the rest of mankind.

THE SIN OF ENVY
-I want what you have and I don’t want you to have it
- Envy is not wanting for you what God wants for you
- it’s a heart that says “God, you have blessed the wrong person”
- If only statements re dangerous. Kills us inside
- An envious heart:
- is not satisfied with what God has given us
- says we deserve more than what’s around us
