"And David behaved wisely in all his ways and the Lord was with him" 1
Samuel 18:14(NKVJ).
Victorious life attracts evy and persecution. "envy is the feeling of displeasure produced by witnessing or hearing of the advantage or prosperity of others"(Vines expository dictionary).
We must be careful not to allow our flesh rise up in envy when we see others experience victories. David sat under his father's instruction and understood authority. He honoured and respected the authority of king Saul, but Saul became envious of his success.
Envy is a tool of the enemy. As children of God, we are instructed to put on the whole armour of God(Eph.6:11) to enable us stand agaist the wiles of the enemy. If you plan to succed , you must be ready to be envied.
Like David, we must behave wisely before those whom we stand, because we may never know whom the Lord may use to bless us.
PRAYER: Pray for the spirit of wisdom upon yourself to be able to behave well before God and man.
