Proverbs 27:20Death and Destruction are never satisfied,and neither are the eyes of man.
I once had someone tell me that they didn't believe in evil. The thing is, even if she didn't believe in it, evil still exists and had a hold in her life.
If you don't believe that you envy anything that someone else has, or if you believe that you are absolutely truly satisfied and never fight discontent, it may be time to dig deep and look in the mirror. Our culture and our flesh are constantly discontent and constantly looking for more.
This verse reminds me of my reliance on God. There are things that I may never personally overcome in my life. Coveting other people's lives or things is certainly a struggle for me. I know when I put those unhealthy desires and lusts at His feet, I can overcome them. When I deal with those things with God, I am leaning on his strength, finding contentment in His provision and putting my love and attention into the things He desires for my life.
Take a moment today to evaluate the things your eyes can't get enough of and take them to God. He knows and He wants you to be the overcomer of those things in your life.
Please continue to pray for Dale C this week.
