The spiritual insanity of envy

Psalm 73 warns against the spiritual insanity of envy. Envy distorts one's vision, causing a focus on what others have rather than being grateful for what God has provided. The psalmist questions the goodness of God as he sees the prosperity of the wicked. However, the psalm reminds us that comparing our lives to others leads to an embittered heart and overlooks God's grace.
