Friday, October 6

Let us not become egotistical, . . . envying one another.—Gal. 5:26.

 

An egotistical person is proud and selfish. An envious person not only wants what another person has but also wants to deprive the other person of what he has. Really, envy is a form of hatred. The negative qualities of egotism and envy could be likened to impurities contaminating the fuel that powers an aircraft. The plane may be able to take off, but the contaminants can block the fuel lines, causing the plane to crash. Similarly, someone may serve Jehovah for a while. But if he is motivated by egotism and envy, he will crash. (Prov. 16:18) He will stop serving Jehovah and will harm himself and others. We can combat egotism by keeping in mind the apostle Paul’s counsel: “Do nothing out of contentiousness or out of egotism, but with humility consider others superior to you.”—Phil. 2:3. w21.07 15-16 ¶6-8

You can't walk with God while holding hands with the Devil.
