Live a life free from envy!
King/King Ahasuerus - When Exalted - Feast for 180 days
When I am high, when I have strength, do I strive to elevate myself? Do you exalt God?
Example> Judas - 12 Disciples - People who couldn't be together
Judas < 1 in 12 has a problem in any community Don't be the one with this problem!>
King Saul in trouble
18:22 “And Saul commanded his servants,
Speak secretly to David, saying, Behold, the king delights in you, and all his servants love you; therefore it is right for you to become the king's son-in-law."
19:1 “Kill David”
Application> Are there any parts where we fall while shouting at others?

a.
An Evil Spirit from the Lord Came - The Spirit of the Lord came on Saul to his detriment.
The grace of God is to prevent people from doing things according to their desires.

People who live by the impulses of the devil

Be this kind of friend!
*When Parents Are Wrong*
1>Are you a person who can give honest advice like Jonathan?
2> As a parent, can you hear your children when they make a mistake?
-Aren't you barking with blood and blood with authority?

False advice can lead to humiliation and contempt for parents.
Proverbs 19:26 / Proverbs 20:20
-Children who can give advice to their parents should not be flawed in themselves.

“Men are from Mars, women are from Venus” - they seem similar, but they are completely different.

*Men understand women by the logic of men.
A person who is good in marriage - understand and persuade the other person

2> Rejoice in being different!
Second,
I read a column written by Professor Ogil Kwon, Department of Life Sciences, Kangwon National University. The column title is . Tadpoles are said to be omnivores, living in water and breathing with gills. Then, with the development of hind legs and forelimbs, they come to the ground and begin to breathe through their lungs, turning into a carnivorous carnivore that eats insects. A tadpole turns into a frog.
However, tadpoles live in groups in the water. Not only tadpoles, but also monkeys and birds live in groups. Their tribes recognize each other like ghosts and gather together. This is called kinship. It is said that it is advantageous to find food in groups, to avoid enemies, and to help them scream and escape.
Plants also tell the plants next to them when there are bugs. There is nothing more to say about people. In Genesis 2:18, it says, “It is not good for a man to be alone, says the Lord God; I will make a helper for him.” A helping partner is someone you live with. And in verse 24, it says, “The two shall become one flesh.”
Third,
These days, our proverb, 'When your cousin buys land, your stomach hurts' is a more self-helpful and aggressive version of the phrase, 'I can endure hunger, but I can't stand it' is popular.
In the book of Genesis in the Bible, it is written, “The Lord had acceptable Abel and his offering, but he did not accept Cain and his offering. There was jealousy from Cain and Abel, the first offspring born through the union of humans, which Adam and Hao, who were exiled from the Garden of Eden after committing original sin, had sex with each other. As such, envy is the fundamental human psychology found from the first descendants of humans. A person who has absolutely no envy, who does not compare himself with others at all, is truly a noble person. It is also the ideal image that everyone seeks. But wanting to be completely free from envy and comparison is only a futile wish. Because we, who can never be freed from original sin, can never escape from envy or comparison. Therefore, rather than trying to become a being without envy or comparison, we should think about how to understand envy and deal with it in a healthy way.
Problem> The church is not perfect. The problem is improving. Should all the problems be solved? Embrace the problem and live the future!
Paul> The thorn in the body After solving all the problems, he did not fulfill his mission. I was charged with a problem.
Some people are always stuck with problems Some people spend all their time grappling with problems.
Is it healthy without any disease? Longevity and longevity - 40 years of back pain
Perfectionism - A person who believes that the church should be free from problems.
Fourth, for the sake of my own peace, when acknowledging others, admit them and give up what you give up!
Also, envy has the psychology of envying what the other person has and the psychology of destroying it. When an illegal and derogatory element is found in the object of envy, the spirit of destroying him is ignited and relentless attacks are poured out. It's possible. Conversely, when the object of envy is too far away from you and you feel that you cannot keep up, the psychology of envy leads to frustration and abandonment, and the aggression that tries to destroy the other person becomes depressed towards you.
Therefore, in order to get rid of envy, first of all, even for ‘my peace’, we need to be able to give up when we acknowledge others and give up when we give up.
