The more you compare your life to those around you…

Happy Monday! One of the most common forms of stress is the comparison trap. I admit, there have been so many times that I have spent time comparing myself to others. The more you compare your life to those around you, the less you enjoy the life that God has given you.

I think we can all agree that comparison is bad but it is so easy to fall prey to the comparison trap. The only thing that comes from the comparison is stress.

Psalms 139:14 states, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.”

Things in life that make us different are assets. We were created by God to be confident, secure, and bold. Comparison is a joy steeler.

In 1 Samuel 17, David fought Goliath using the tools that God gave him. He didn’t have to use Saul’s armor to fight Goliath. In fact, David could have been tempted to fight like Saul but God gave him what he needed to slay the giant.

We have what we need because God gives us what we need. We don’t need to compare ourselves to others. It only brings on more stress in our lives.

The bottom line is God created you for a purpose and He has given you the talents and gifts that you need.
