ENVY--------PROVERBS 14:30

Redistribution Of Wealth
The American Dream has always been a idea within the minds of many people from foreign lands. The Land of the Free where you can get a fresh start and live a better life than you had once before. God placed us on the earth to work and support our families. Laziness in the eyes of the Lord is a sin. Do not lust for another mans wife, nor do you seek another ones riches or property that he has worked for.
Envy is a sin in the eyes of the Lord and in Proverbs Chapter 14 verse 30-- God also tells us that envy is a rottenness of the bones. Some may wonder about the rottenness of the bones and exactly what is GOD telling us in this verse. The Bible tells me this is an illness or disease that will afflict those that are envious of others and the possessions they may have. It could also be described as a form of cancer that will afflict the envious people.
The Scriptures also tells us that a heart at peace gives life to the body, while envy rots the bones.
Tithes---The Bible tells us we should give 10% of our gross earnings to the church and the Lord. These Tithes is given before any other payment is made----GOD always comes first in Tithes and he comes first in our lives.
All things belong to GOD--The clothes you wear, the food you eat, car you drive, money you possess, all things belong to GOD he just allows us to borrow it for a little while. When we die all of these material things to include our fleshly body will be gone and we will return back to dust where we came from in the beginning.
God speaks of storehouses! One storehouse is the one where the church keeps the Tithes (GODS MONEY). This money belongs to GOD so the church can pay their bills and do the works that GOD has commanded us to do. Spread the gossip and care for the poor.
The second type of storehouse is where GOD stores all of the Christians deeds you perform as man while on earth. We as Christians are commanded by GOD to spread his word, care for the widows and care for the Little Ones---(Children) to include the poor. These deeds are good in the eyes of GOD and he will store them for his future use.(Judgement Day)
The third type of storehouse that GOD will use is the one that records all of our sins! This one will be overflowing since we can not live a day without sin. As hard as we may try, We fall short of GODS Grace and we can not go one day without sinning. Think about all of the sins that GOD is recording for (Judgement Day)
We walk around and see someone with a nice home, nice car , pretty wife, riches and we imagine how nice it must be to have those things. That person obtained those things by working and supporting his family and GOD blesses those that follows his commandments and does his will and accepts him as our Savior and Lord.
Those that envy the possessions of another and expect or want a share of them is a sin in the eyes of GOD. The Lord provides us with what we need to survive. Maybe not what we want but he provides for us according to his will and the way we conduct ourselves Spiritual has something to do with that.
Redistribution of Wealth------Is it your money, did you work to earn that money---Are you lazy and expect a handout from the government by taking from one and giving to another because you say I do not have enough or I want the same things he has. Has the Lord blessed you with those things--He will if you pray, ask and follow his ways or is it that you want and want without earning your way.
The rottenness that GOD speaks of may very well be the affliction he places upon your body for your envious and greedy ways. Remember---Material wealth will get you no where with GOD---The deeds as a Christian that were placed in the first storehouse is what GOD will judge as righteous.
Storehouses that contains sins and material wishes will be judged also by GOD.
Where is your heart--Is it with GOD or this evil world that GOD will deal with when he comes forth. What does your future look like---Is there any HOPE for you--If you think not---Than it is time for you to CHANGE your ways or suffer the WRATH OF GOD ALMIGHTY.
