Hello my friends, welcome back. Time for the morning mindset again. I hope you are ready

to get your mind aligned with the truth of God for today. If you're not, if you feel

like you're kind of in a rush right now, just stop for a moment. Take a deep breath, close

your eyes for a second, if you're not driving, just get yourself ready. Get your heart ready

to receive God's truth from the Book of Proverbs today. We're going to be talking about

a subject that really is one of those elephants in the ring that we don't usually like to

talk about. And that's the issue of jealousy. It's something that's hard to really pin

down sometimes. It's hard to be honest about if we find it in ourselves. So we're going

to look at that in just a moment. Before we do, I just wanted to point you to another

resource that I'm producing that may be of benefit to you. I write a blog that comes

out periodically, mostly every week. And one of the fun things I've been doing recently

is a post that comes out of believe on Sundays called blog casserole. It's just a

hodgepodge of things I've found throughout the week that have either been helpful, instructive,

entertaining, something like that, things I can recommend to you. So I would love for

you to sign up for the blog. You can find it at carrygreen.com. You'll also find a number

of books that have written on the website as well. All right, let's look at Proverbs chapter

27 verse number four. It says, Wrath is cruel. Anger is overwhelming, but who can stand

before jealousy? So do you see how Solomon is comparing jealousy to two different things

that we all would say are very difficult things to deal with. Wrath, so that's like extreme

anger. Somebody who's who's pouring up vengeance, it says, Wrath is cruel. Amen. We understand

that. Wrath can be very cruel. Anger is overwhelming. So amen, we all understand that when

someone's very, very angry, sometimes just throw up your hands. You don't know what to do.
