When it comes to the Kingdom of God, envy is exposed at its root. Envy in my life means: disliking God’s goodness to you and dismissing God’s goodness to me. Envy is rooted in selfishness and fear. Selfishness leads me into the narrow valley of self-obsession, where everything in my life or heart is judged by my perceived wants and needs. Fear plays its part by igniting envy with this daunting question, "Has God forgotten you?”
So, why all the bad news about envy? Because it robs you of your perception of God’s complete consciousness of you. Envy challenges the soul with the dark questions of “why?” Why has God not accomplished what I desire…Why not now…Why not here? So, what is the solution? Are you ready for the revelation, something you've never heard before? A magic formula demonstrated by a divine infomercial?
Don't be disappointed, but the answer is familiar. The answer has been demonstrated by generations of the faithful, those who lived and died believing; Believing in an infinite God who loves each one of us equally; Believing in a Sovereign God who works for eternity, not for the moment; Believing in a God who seriously cares about the welfare of all of His children - A God who does not have the capacity to forget us. Let it sink into your soul. Speak this truth to someone sinking in the mental quicksand of "I am forgotten". Remember, He can’t forget you. It is not possible for Him. There are some things He can not do….
“Remember these things...I formed you, you are my servant,
and you shall not be forgotten by me.” Isaiah 44:21 Amp
