The Fool

Job 5:2 "Resentment kills a fool and envy slays the simple."

Sometimes all it takes is the verse. A blog explanation just muddles the simplicity of what God says. So there it is - a verse that was like a dart to my heart this past week. Dying from the inside-out because I was resentful in a situation in my life. And God's Word did what God's Word does: nailed me and left me with no excuses. I didn't have to dig into the theology, the Hebrew, the commentaries, the explanations, the 5-step video series - I just had to read 4 words.

"Resentment kills a fool."

Thank You for revealing my foolishness, and thank You for making it so simple. I repent.
