FOCUS ON YOUR PATH

2 Corinthians 10:12 (KJV) For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. Life is full of competition, in careers, relationships, and even families, but Scripture teaches that comparison is unwise. Many Christians burden themselves with unnecessary stress by comparing their walk with God to that of others. Scripture shows that the only true competition for a Christian is with oneself. It’s not wrong to notice the progress of others, but your motivation should be to grow beyond your own past self, not to outdo anyone else. Do not lose sight of the path God has chosen for you by becoming preoccupied with another’s journey. Stay focused, keep growing, and strive each day to become the person God has called you to be. PRAYER FOR TODAY Lord, keep me focused on the path You have set before me. Deliver me from comparison and help me to grow daily according to Your unique plan for my life. PROPHETIC DECLARATION My only competition is myself. I am focused on the path God has set before me. As I walk in His perfect plan for my life, His grace causes increase and favour to follow me everywhere I go! FURTHER STUDY Galatians 6:4 365 BIBLE CHALLENGE – DAY 118 1 Samuel 17-18; John 12:1-16
