Negative Competition

Negative Competition It’s easy to be tempted to go through life competing with everyone around us. When we see someone who’s more talented, better looking, or has more gifts, instead of running our race and being comfortable with who we are, oftentimes, we feel inferior and think, “I’ve got to catch up to them.” The problem with this unhealthy competition is that it’s a never-ending cycle. There will always be someone ahead of us. It’s very freeing when you realize, “I’m not competing with you. I don’t have to have as big a house as my neighbour to feel good about myself. I don’t have to keep up with my co-worker. I don’t have to be a certain size. No, I understand that I’m not in competition with my friend, my neighbour or my co-worker. Instead, I’m going to be the best me that I can possibly be.” Today, stay focussed on being who God made you to be, that’s when you’ll rise up higher and position yourself for every spiritual blessing He has in store for you! “...let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith...” (Hebrews 12:1–2, NKJV) Pray With Me Yahweh, I humbly come to You giving You all that I am. Father, I choose to keep my eyes on You and allow You to work in my heart and mind. God, I declare that I am free from negative competition, today please help me to be happy with who You made me to be, in Jesus’ Name! Amen.
