Isaiah 14:12-14 "12 How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!
13 You said in your heart, "I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon. 14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High."

James 3:16-17 "16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. 17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere."

Exodus 20:17 "17

Good post, Martin! Jealosy is the green-eyed-monster and causes people to go far in debt to keep up with what others have, which is called, Keeping up with the Jones amd sometimes it leads to murder! Our satisfaction is in Jesus and no other nor any thing! If we want what someone else has, let us get out and earn it and not take it from others, who are more fortunate, as too much of this is happening in this world, today! May God Bless! Amen! Ma Betty
