As you step out today, remember God’s word to you from 2 Corinthians 10:12b [NIV] which says “…When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise”.
This bible verse clearly admonishes us as believers not to get caught up comparing ourselves to others as this is unhealthy and can lead to sinful consequences. The bible says whoever does this is not wise, which means it is foolishness to compare or measure yourself with others such that you begin to doubt yourself and feel unqualified!
As individuals, we all have different paths in life which are characterised by ‘Time and Seasons’ so rather than focus on what others are doing, their achievements and their race, let us focus on the Lord’s chosen path for ourselves and let us invest our time in getting good at it so that our lives can bless others and our heavenly Father can be glorified.
It is vital as a believer that you always depend on the Holyspirit for His guidance and leading to help you walk your path and to finish your race. That way you will not be tempted to think that others path are better than yours.
As you go about your daily business and activities today, keep your attention on the Lord and His purpose for you. Don’t get distracted by others success and begin to compare yourself to them. This only leads to insecurity and a false measurement of yourself.
Remember, love who you are, celebrate your strengths, acknowledge your weaknesses and work on getting better at them. And just focus on God’s purpose and assignment for your life, get good at it and be the best at it too!
Do have a blessed and fruitful day!
