Envy In the Household Numbers 12:1-16 We see the emergence of yet another problem, the issue of envy. What's glaring about this issue that confronted Moses was that it came from people dear to him. It came from his own brother and sister, Aaron and Miriam. They envied Moses' leadership and spoke against him. We know people do become envious of others who are in positions of leadership which they themselves have secretly aspired to have. But for envy to come from someone dear can be very unnerving. Envy makes you look at what you don't have and in doing so poisons the feelings of enjoyment of what you do have. Envy is when we compare ourselves to someone else and ask, ''Why you?'' The antidote to the poison of envy is being satisfied with what God has given you. That's it! When you are satisfied with what God has given you, you will kill the roots of envy. The antidote is as simple as it is powerful: trusting God in all areas of life. God is a good Father, and He will not withhold any good gift from any one of His children.
