This is why you shouldn’t compare yourself with other people

In this universe, we are all given different tasks to fulfill, and each of us is granted a period of time to complete them. What I'm saying is that you shouldn't compare yourself with others because their assignments are extremely different from yours.

The Bible mentions several prophets, and if you study them, you'll notice that their missions and responsibilities are vastly different. At first, Moses was tasked with freeing the Israelites from Egypt, whereas Jesus was tasked with freeing the entire world from the devil.

Joshua was given only one task on earth: to lead the children of Israel across the Jordan River into the Promised Land. Joshua was the man whom God chose to succeed Moses. Jonah was created to deliver the message of repentance to Nineveh. They were God's prophets, but they had different missions.

He created us in such a way that we are able to contribute to what he is doing in the world. Every person who comes to Christ brings something to the table that no one else can. Instead of making us arrogant, this knowledge should humble us as we celebrate our unique position and acknowledge God's supreme plan.

Another thing to keep in mind is that just because God is blessing others doesn't mean your turn won't come. So give thanks to God for them, since yours is on its way.

This year, I urge all my readers to refrain from comparing their lives with those of other people because their responsibilities are vastly different from yours. If you haven't received your assignment yet, pray that God will disclose it to you.

It is important to complete your tasks before you live in this world, because God some day is going to judge us.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against ...

Wait upon the LORD

Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times. Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage. When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we ...
