Once, I found myself working for the person who received the promotion I was recommended to receive. My jealousy turned into disdain for my new boss and damaged our working relationship.
King Saul had similar feelings about David when Saul allowed seeds of jealousy to take root. After Saul returned from a victorious battle, the Israelite women danced in the streets, praising David more than Saul.
1 Samuel 18:7 says, “As they danced, they sang: ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.'” Saul was very angry; this refrain displeased him greatly.”
Saul’s jealousy turned into multiple attempts to kill David that lasted for years.
Relationships, and even businesses, can be destroyed by jealousy. Do you have any seeds of jealousy beginning to take root?
