1 Corinthians 2:9, Ephesians 2:10, Romans 12:6
"Taking Your Cue
From God"
Were you ever picked last for the team? As a kid, it may have been just
the neighborhood kickball game or elementary school play. But as an adult, you
may feel left behind watching friends get married, have kids, or move on to new
jobs—the very things you may be praying for.
The comparison trap tricks us into thinking that God’s blessings are in
limited supply, whispering the lie that when she wins, you lose. But in today’s
verses we’re reminded that God has set a unique plan for your life. And he will
abundantly prepare you for it. You can trust his provision. And this one’s
harder: you can trust his timing.
If you’re busy glancing to the left and right, jealous of someone
else’s plan, you may miss the perfect one he’s written just for you.
So when comparison makes you feel “less than”—like you’re the only one
who hasn’t been picked yet—remember that God doesn’t ask you to take your cues
from those around you. He asks you to take your cues from him, the one who
already calls you his “masterpiece.”
TRY THIS: Spend some time memorizing today’s verse from
Romans then use it as your in-the-moment prayer when jealousy strikes.
