“Envy exposes the idols of your heart, the sources of your identity, and where you derive your sense of worth; learn what you envy and you will know who you are.” - @andrejosiah We are on week 4 of our sermon series “The Freedom You Long For”, Ps. Andre spoke on the topic of Envy & Contentment. We often hear the saying that “comparison is the thief of joy”, and envy sets in when we compare others’ blessings with our own and it makes us feel inadequate. But as followers of Christ, we can find contentment in God by abdicating the throne of our own lives and letting God take His rightful place. Christian contentment is not about minimalism or simplicity - it is about contentment in Christ, because of Christ, and empowered by Christ. May we take some time to reflect on the following 3 questions, and invite God in to free us from the sin of envy: 1. Is there a disappointing or even painful situation in my life that’s leading to feelings of grief or injustice or longing? 2. Is there anyone whose happiness brings me sadness because I want the happiness they are receiving? 3. Is there anyone I’ve allowed to harbour feelings of bitterness or anger towards?
