THE WORD: 2 Cor. 10:12 For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
One of the evidences of foolishness is comparison. It is simply saying God does not know what He was doing during creation. This is what I have discovered long time ago. God is the only wise God (Romans 16:27, 1 Tim1:17 and Jude 1:25). He knows all things, He can do all thing and He is everything. That is while I always say God is too faithful to fail. He is dependable, He is reliable and He is available, He is accessible, He cannot lie, nothing is too hard for Him to do and He is not bias.
So it foolishness to be thinking someone is better than you in result because God created everyone equally—it is self-development and personal responsibility that set the standard for everyone to live. It is childish to be thinking someone is better than you in appearance—No one is better than you because you are wonderfully and fearfully make by God. It is lack of understanding of self that makes you to thinks that your last performance is the best of you. Forgetting that you can do ALL things through Jesus Christ that strengthens you and failure of event is not failure in person.
You are single dose not connote married people are better than you. You don’t have a child yet those not tag you barren. You don’t have job does not make you stupid or valueless. Who you are now is what God want you to be now. What you have now is what you need now. The bible recorded that those that compare themselves with themselves are not wise. It is foolishness to be comparing yourself with others because you don’t know what they are nursing. God knows your name and He will make good His promises in your life. Remember better is the end of a matter than the beginning thereof. The future result is the key not present situation.
As you step out today I want to cast your care on to God because he cares for you. The result of others does not connote they are better. Don’t measure your results with others and stop comparing someone’s middle with your own beginning. You will get there!
Think Comparison Think Foolishness.
…keep living, keep going and keep winning. Everything is possible if you are positive.
