Zealous for God, Envious for None


Proverbs 23:17-18
Do not let your heart envy sinners, But be zealous for the fear of the Lord all the day; 18 For surely there is a hereafter, And your hope will not be cut off.

Many get rich by seeking things dishonestly or with love only for self, not caring how.  These are not ones to want to be like or to desire to have what they possess.  What matters is the love and fear of God - this is what we must jealously desire, knowing we will face Him and live in His presence forever (those who are new creations in Christ, that is).
