Trust in God's Plan

The hope of the gospel is that God has already provided the cure for what's killing us, even when His way of doing it doesn't fit our logic. Like Israel looking at the bronze snake, or Nicodemus needing to be born again, we're invited to trust and act on what God says even before we fully understand it, and find true life on the other side.

God wants us to see how good He has been, is being, and will be to us. Envy, fueled by comparison, is one of the enemy's most subtle tools to blind us to that goodness, and it will rot us from the inside out and tempt us to become our own god unless we learn to be content in Christ.
