Do you desire freedom from jealousy? Jealousy, it’s something that has influenced many characters throughout history. Even so, there’s a way to be free from it!
God Is In Control!
Jealousy is ugly. It keeps those of us who struggle with it miserable. It causes us to act in hurtful ways, but don’t forget Who’s in control. God is. He will ultimately use our choices to bring about His will. Yes, even our nasty actions. He’s powerful enough to influence the outcome to bring about His will. We can’t screw His plan up!
Are your plans being negatively affected by someone who’s jealous of what you’re accomplishing, what you have, or what you intend to do? Don’t worry. The ideas you have may be being disrupted, but God’s will isn’t. Trust Him and relax in a freedom from jealousy.
Some Want to Disrupt our Freedom From Jealousy
Remember, God’s timing is perfect. Whether our present situation seems good or bad, flesh often can’t see beyond it. If life seems bad, we become discouraged and lose hope, as if our circumstances won’t ever change. If we’re being blessed, we forget from where we’ve come or that the season may still change.
When Christ is our center, life’s highs and lows need not disrupt our peace. There’s an evenness, a calm about life, when God is our focus, not necessarily in our circumstances, but in our Spirit.
Be wary of who you share this spiritual contentment with, because Satan will use others to try to disrupt your trust in God. Some will trample and mock your faith and bring you down, because they are allowing jealousy to lead their actions.
Be Content in God
Unfortunately, jealousy plays a heavy role in this earthly life. We struggle under its weight from our own points of view and also from that of others. However, when we focus on Christ, jealousy can become a non-issue. When we grow content in God and His love for us, others’ jealousy becomes less meaningful.
We, on the other hand, have no thought of jealousy when Christ fills us with His heart. His is not a heart of jealousy. We find ourselves cheering for others who are blessed by Him and are content with what He provides for us. It’s a refreshing way to live.
In the book of Genesis, Joseph faced jealousy. It negatively impacted his life. However, God had a plan in all that occurred. Click here to listen to my powerful 9.5 minute message on Freedom From Jealousy.
