Proverbs E19 - To Envy Is Human, But To Love Is Divine

In this podcast episode, Yemi and Philia continue to Unlock Wisdom through the book of Proverbs by discussing the fight against envy (Proverbs 3:31-32; 6:34-35; 14:30; 23:17-19; 24:1-2; 24:19-20 and 27:4). Solomon says, "A sound heart is life to the body, but envy is rotten to the bones." Proverbs 14:30

Today's topic on the grind of envy is something that could easily consume us when we are of this world and losing our purpose of being in the world. We must continue to be transformed by renewing our minds daily. In other words, get rid of all ill-will and deceitful people to make room for a baby, who is naïve and open to the milk of the word. We shouldn't envy others because the best version of ourselves lays within the confinements of God.
