Cruel Jealousy

Scripture Song of Songs 8:6 THE SHULAMITE TO HER BELOVED Set me as a seal upon your heart, As a seal upon your arm; For love is as strong as death, Jealousy as cruel as the grave; Its flames are flames of fire, A most vehement flame.

Observation: Jealousy is cruel and I’ve seen it break up friendships and marriages. Jealousy is that desire to have something or someone that someone else has. It’s not being content with what you have and wanting more than what God has blessed you with. We forget the blessings we have when we are focused on wanting what others have.

Application: To be more focused on all that I have and to thank God for all of the blessing He has given me. I have nothing to be jealous of, I have so much more than I deserve and I should be more giving to others.

Prayer: My Lord, you have truly blessed me and I want to tell you now that I love you and appreciate all you’ve done for me. Help me be the man you call me to be.
