Ecclesiastes 4:5 Fools fold their hands and ruin themselves.
When we see what others have we may be envious of what they have. If we are willing to work to try and get what they have then that is one thing, but if we just sit back and expect things to happen then we will be in for a bit of a shock.
God does not expect us to stand around waiting for others to do our work for us. He wants us to use the gifts that He has given us to work toward glorifying Him in all that we do.
If we do not feed ourselves with the Word of God, we will be the ones who starve and look to others things to try and satisfy ourselves – but nothing will feed us like God’s Word!
