    Envy is a condition so poisonous that we’re not able to rejoice in the moment and enjoy what we have, but instead, find fault with it and say, “This isn’t good enough.” The root of it is that we don't trust God is caring for us.

    Paul went into this question and answer section to debunk the wrong thoughts of the Jews, affirming the value of the covenant, God's faithfulness to His promises, and His righteous judgment for all people.

That’s why, if we recall our theme this month “I am Vigilant, I am Prepared for Eternity” we are called to be watchful and be on guard always as ...read more
