Jealousy is a dangerous emotion. It is closely related to discontent. Both can lead us to sin against others if they are not kept in check. In Daniel 6:1-24, we see how jealousy led the commissioners and satraps to pursue killing Daniel.
As Daniel distinguished himself from the others in the king’s court “because he possessed an extraordinary spirit,” they realize “the king planned to appoint him over the entire kingdom (3).” They became jealous of Daniel and hatched a plot to kill him (4-9). Basically they convince the king to institute a law that anyone worshipping a god other than the king will be thrown into the lions den.
Daniel is fully aware of this new law, yet “he continued kneeling on his knees three times a day, praying and giving thanks before his God, as he had been doing previously (10).” He maintains his trust and faith in God even though he knew the consequences. Daniel was thrown into the lions den, but God protected him by shutting the lions’ mouths (22).
The consequences of acting on jealousy can be severe. It can tear apart friendships and families and cause discord in the workplace and communities. Malicious acts generated by jealousy can also have harmful consequences as in the case of those who plotted against Daniel (24).
Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. – Philippians 4:11, NASB

Good morning… thanks for sharing.
Jealousy has no place in the heart of love. And God will protect His own from the antagonistic.
Have a wonderful day.
So true. May the peace of our Lord envelope you today. Blessings.
