The Poison of Comparison

from Devotions with Pastor Stanton · host Stanton Petersen

Have you ever noticed how quickly a good day can turn sour the moment you start looking around?You could be perfectly happy with your car, your house, or your career. But then you scroll past a post of a friend’s tropical vacation, or you hear about a colleague's promotion. Suddenly, what you have feels small. It feels cheap. It feels like you’re falling behind. That is the poison of comparison. It makes us look sideways at other people’s blessings instead of looking up at our Creator. Today, we’re diving into the story of a woman who had almost everything she ever wanted, yet was completely consumed by what she didn’t have. In her story, we'll discover how to cure the toxic habit of comparison before it ruins our relationships.
