It's so tempting to want to compare and feel like you're way behind instead of just going, and good for him. Like I'm glad I'm a 50 million people. It's hard. And that's why we call it enemy because it will literally suck the contentment out of your life by comparing. Second Corinthians 10:12 But when they measure themselves by one another, it compared themselves with one another. They are without understanding.
In a world where social media makes everyone else’s at-bats seem like a home run, it’s easy to feel like you’re striking out every time you step up to the plate. The weight of comparison can quickly pull you down to some dark places both emotionally and spiritually. What’s more, the patterns you set in your life can have a tremendous impact on the lives of your wife and kids. Thankfully, the Bible gives each of us a game plan for guarding our hearts and minds against unhealthy comparisons—and for embracing the joy that’s found in being content with God’s plans and purposes.
