But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; my steps had nearly slipped. For I was envious of the boastful, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 

Psalm 73:2,3

Not everybody is prepared to see others achieving success; many people tend to become envious in this kind of situation. When this problem (or any other) is present in our lives, it is usually accompanied by its “associates”. The Bible says that deep calls to deep. (Psalm 42:7) The covetous don´t realize that their attitude is causing them to lose the best the Lord had already given to them. And the worst thing is that there is a malign spirit behind any abnormality.

For example, when the owner of a restaurant prospers in his business, this causes the nearby restaurants to want to take his clients. To achieve this, they invest a lot of money and put in a lot of effort. Why do they do that? Couldn´t they just offer different kinds of food instead? Does a clothing store owner have to sell jewelry in order to survive? For sure there´s a lot of covetousness and envy in this kind of situation.

Is it wrong to see beauty in somebody else´s spouse? It all depends on the intentions. Those who don´t fear the Lord are easily dominated by their sinful desires. If they really fear the Lord, they should praise Him for giving this beautiful spouse to somebody else. However, the lack of respect in regards to the Word of God causes people to fall and commit adultery.

The psalmist was brave enough to admit he was wrong. I am sure that there are many people nowadays struggling not to fall. If this is your case, come into the Lord´s presence, and confess your weakness to him; ask for forgiveness and do your best to flee from temptation. If you fall, the demon will have you in his hands, and everything you do shall not prosper.

Sometimes this happens amongst Christians. Not even inside their own families are people free from Satan´s temptations. Most of the cases of abuses against children happen inside the children´s homes, and the abusers are usually the parents, brothers and other relatives. Probably, and unfortunately, among the thousands who read my messages daily, are also those who abuse of children.

God can change these people´s fates, if they repent from their sins. If temptation has been stronger than your capacity to resist, look for a pastor who can pray for you and expel the demons that are operating against you, in the name of Jesus. Before it´s too late, free yourself from all the works of the devil, because the price you´ll pay will be very high if you don´t.

The Most High doesn´t speak without a purpose. When He drives us to examine our ways, it might be our last chance before we stumble and fall. Therefore, if we don´t listen to what He says beforehand, later on we may need help, but it might be too late.

In Christ, with love,
