Read this first: James 4:5
The Bible commands us not to envy others, coveting what they have (Exo 20:17). Ancient Israel often did, and the Old Testament tells of how badly that worked out (e.g. Num 11). The Holy Spirit is not within us to stir up such envy! So let's not grieve the Sprit with our sinful desires (Isa 63:10) but, rather, get rid of them, and practise kindness and love (Eph 4:30-32).
Based on the sermon “Unanswered prayer”
