120: Looking to God vs comparing to others | Psalm 37:7

When we are in a season of waiting for God, don't look around and compare yourself to the success of others. Wait. On. God. It can be hard when you are in a season of waiting. You feel helpless. You are ready for things to move ahead, to discover that next step. For whatever reason, though, God is making you wait. When we are in a season of waiting, it can be so easy to look around at others and compare our lives. Our One Verse today warns against that. We don't know what is going on in their lives. Maybe God is blessing them. That is great for them. We don't know what God is doing in their life and what He is doing in our lives. We don't know the circumstances behind the scenes. As the verse is Psalm says, maybe they are getting ahead through dishonest ways. We don't know. But there is one thing we CAN do. We can keep our eyes on God and focus on Him. He is working in your life to form your spirit and prepare your future. Trust Him. Don't look around at others. Wait on God.
