Comparison plants a seed of doubt on our faith that would grow into an overwhelming distrust on God's plans in our lives if left unchecked.
A lot of the frustrations that arise from our hearts usually result from comparing other people's achievements to ours. This is multiplied tenfold when you are in the waiting season. A small peek at our friend's social media feed would send us questioning our path and the decisions that we made. Real talk: While you feel happy for them, somehow in the deepest corner of your heart you're asking the Lord,
"When would it be my time?" "Aren't You taking too long?" "is it still worth it to wait for You?"
Comparison plants a seed of doubt on our faith that would grow into an overwhelming distrust on God's plans in our lives if left unchecked. God has a unique plan for each of His children because He knows us individually and intimately. He will accomplish His purpose for you, in His own way and in His perfect timing. Abide in Him and let Him be the center of your waiting.
"Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes." - Psalm 37:7
