In today’s social media-driven world, it’s easy to fall into the comparison trap, constantly measuring our lives against the highlight reels of others. But comparison steals our contentment, breeding envy that robs us of peace and joy. Over time, envy can distort our relationships and hurt our mental health. Proverbs 14:30 reminds us that “a heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones,” teaching us that gratitude is the cure for envy. By focusing on the blessings God has given us, we can embrace contentment and joy, radiating peace and encouragement to those around us.
