Devotion: Day 2
Day 2: Breaking Free from Human Jealousy
Reading: Genesis 4:1-8; 1 Samuel 18:6-9; James 3:14-16
Devotional: Human jealousy is a destructive force that leads to strife, division, and even murder. Cain's jealousy of Abel and Saul's envy of David reveal how comparison poisons our souls. When we focus sideways—comparing ourselves to others—we feed the dark spirit of envy. This rottenness of the bones consumes us from within, preventing spiritual growth and blocking God's blessings. The antidote is looking upward to God rather than sideways at others. Stop measuring your journey against someone else's success. Celebrate others' victories and trust God's unique timing for your life. Gratitude breaks envy's grip by recentering your heart on God's faithfulness.
Reflection Question: Who am I comparing myself to, and how is this preventing my spiritual growth?
