“从那天起，扫罗就妒忌大卫。”
撒母耳记上 18:9
“And from that time on Saul kept a close eye on David.”
1 Samuel 18:9
All of us can fall prey to jealousy. King Saul gave in to the green-eyed monster of jealousy when the praise David received exceeded his: “Saul has killed his thousands, and David his ten thousands!” (1 Sam. 18:7 nlt). Saul was outraged and “from that time on . . . kept a jealous eye on David” (v. 9 nlt). He was so incensed he tried to kill David!
The comparison game is foolish and self-destructive. Someone will always have something we don’t or enjoy experiences different from ours. But God has already given us many blessings, including both life on this earth and the promise of eternal life to all who believe.
Depending on His help and focusing on Him in thankfulness can help us to overcome jealousy.
