30 Peace of mind means a healthy body,
but jealousy will rot your bones. – Proverbs 14:30 NCV
Peace and quiet within the soul is foundational to God’s plan (1 Timothy 2:1-4) (Matthew 5:9). He told us to seek the Kingdom first and he’ll take care of the rest (Matthew 6:33). Jealousy then, is wasteful, as it destroys us faster than it motivates us.
Go ahead, set goals, be productive and work hard, but enjoy the rewards of contentment (1 Timothy 6:6)
