day no. 16,115: envy is the foundation of all instability

Proverbs 27:4
Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?

Envy is the foundation of all instability. It violently shakes any and every thing that attempts to stand upon it.

1 Corinthians 3:11
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Envy is the photo negative of Christ. He is a firm foundation upon which all civilization has been, is being, and will be built. Nothing can stand that does not stand on Him. Christ does not support envy. Envy, therefore, cannot stand, nor can anything else that attempts to rest upon it.

Romans 12:15
Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.

Envy flips the script. It rejoices when others weep and weeps when others rejoice. It attempts to reason from an unreasonable premise. It tries to build with sticks of lit dynamite. It wants to make sense out of nonsense. But insanity does not work. It cannot work. And it won't. Anything that cannot go on forever... won't. 

In other words, it is only a matter of time before what matters takes its vengeance and asserts itself as a matter of fact.
