Word of Hope for Today by Bro. Rolly
Custodio
COMPARING IS NOT HEALTHY
‘…But they…comparing themselves…are not wise.’ 2 Corinthians 10:12 KJV
Today’s Insight
Are you so busy analysing your vices that you don’t
have time to appreciate your virtues? Or so caught up in scrutinising others
that you don’t value what God has given you? God never intended you to compare
yourself with anybody else. ‘Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow
the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. Let us not become conceited,
or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another’ (Galatians 5:25-26 NLT).
By making comparisons,
you’re implying that God made a mistake in making you as you are. Furthermore,
you’re allowing others to define your worth, and giving them control over your
self-esteem. That’s too much power to give anybody! ‘…so it is with Christ’s
body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other. In His
grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well’ (Romans 12:5-6 NLT).
Build on your God-given
talents and stop coveting what others have. God made you what He wanted you to
be, redeemed you and called you to fulfil His plan for your life. Until you
stop comparing yourself with others, you’ll never be able to give birth to the
gifts He’s placed within you. So thank Him for making you who you are, and
believe that He’s transforming you day by day into the person He wants you to
become.
Parallel verses: Jer 31-32, Matt 25:31-46, Ps 72:12-20, Pro 9:7-9
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Word today.
Lord thank you for I am wonderfully created by you. Lord thank you for
reminding us that that we must not compare ourselves to others because each one
us is unique and have a different race to run. Lord thank you for giving me
talents that we may use to serve you and others. Lord thank you for giving me
strength as your Word says that without a part from you we can do nothing but
because of your grace and loving kindness we become followers that you want us
to be. Lord give me insight to take care each other’s need and not comparing to
each other. Lord continues to mold me to become mature in my dealing to others
so that you can use me as an instrument of your blessings for your glory In
Jesus’ Name. Amen!
