How can we find freedom from the sins of comparison, competition, and jealousy that disturb our contentment?
Psalm 23:1-3
The Lord is my shepherd; I have everything I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.
Contentment is found in God’s continual care for you. The opening verses of this beloved psalm remind you that God guards you with his love, rest, protection, provision, and direction. Nothing else in this world can satisfy you as deeply and completely.
Luke 12:15
Then [Jesus] said, “Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own.”
John 21:20-22
Peter turned around and saw behind them the disciple Jesus loved—the one who had leaned over to Jesus during supper and asked, “Lord, who will betray you?” Peter asked Jesus, “What about him, Lord?” Jesus replied, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? As for you, follow me.”
Comparison robs you of peace and contentment. Jesus calls you to travel your own unique road with him. You will find joy and satisfaction when you resist comparing to others and make strong decision to follow Him
