Comparison Wreaks Havoc

"I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want."Philippians 4:11-13

Sometimes I wish social media had never been invented. Even though I use it I ask myself why is it necessary the whole world know my business yet I continue to post. Am I trying to prove something? Do you know what I mean? 

Comparison is a giant joy robber. Seeing others new house, their wonderful romantic married life, their perfect children and grandchildren, their exotic vacation often is draining. Why can’t I be like that Lord. What is wrong with me? 

You are to be content with what you have and where you are as well. Know God loves you and cares for you. Most who read this are from the United States and are blessed beyond compare even if not living in a high end area. Be at peace with yourself. Spend more time on things of the Lord and pray instead of dwelling on the things that divide. 

PRAYER: Help me Father to cast off anything in my life drawing me away from you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
