“How can we be thankful for what we’ve been given if we are constantly comparing our lot with others? The Bible says to rejoice when others rejoice but if we choose to compare instead of to congratulate, we open a door for jealously and envy to enter. The Bible tells us in John 10:10 that we have an enemy who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy. When we compare, our happiness is stolen as we minimize our blessings, our joy that comes from being genuinely happy for others is killed, and our relationships are slowly destroyed as praise and affection are withheld.
God has specific plans for each of us and we need to remember that everyone’s story is different. We are all made differently with unique skills, personalities, and traits that God can use for our good and His glory. He doesn’t compare us to anyone else and loves us so much that He died for us. If we insist on comparing, then let’s compare how our life, both now and for eternity, would be without Jesus. Then with sincere gratitude, thank Him for all He has done for us and ask for His help to not compare anymore.” - Move On, You Version Devo
“Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else. For we are each responsible for our own conduct.” Galatians 6:4-5 NLT
“Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate? Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose. Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.” Philippians 2:1-4 NLT
