COMPARISON CAN LEAD TO DESTRUCTION
“…for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances…” – Philippians 4:11b
An armchair philosopher once declared, “Don’t try to keep up with the Joneses. Drag them down to your level. It’s cheaper.” I applaud his creative solution to this age-old problem, but prefer God’s advice on the subject. God tells us to just not play that game at all.
We fall into a destructive trap when we compare ourselves to others, because the fact is, there will always be someone who has more than we do. On Monday we are so proud of our shiny new car, but on Tuesday, a newer one is parked in the driveway next door. And that 52″ TV will soon pale in comparison to your brother-in-law’s 68″ inch model. Here’s a guarantee in life – no matter what you acquire, somebody, somewhere, is going to have something newer, shinier, and more powerful.
So what’s the harm in comparing ourselves to others? Comparison takes our eyes off the blessings God put into our lives. When we compare our things with others, we get envious and can begin to feel that we deserve more than they do. Comparison cheapens our appreciation for what God has done in our lives, and we can easily shift from gratitude to envy. God wants us to be content with how He has blessed us in life.


“Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:30-31
It’s confession time – I hate to wait! I want what I want and I want it now! Waiting makes me angry, frustrated and at times even offended. Take traffic, for instance. Traffic feels like a very personal assault against me. Don’t all those other drivers understand how important MY schedule is? How dare all these other cars slow me down when I have such important things to do. Can you relate? Maybe for you it’s being put on hold during a phone call. Or maybe your child is still stuck on the waiting list for that magnet school she has to attend. Maybe it’s a painfully slow line at your morning coffee shop.
In our fast-paced culture, waiting means losing control. Think about it. People used to farm their own food; planting a field and waiting for the crop took months. Today, we run to the nearest drive-through. Remember pen pals? People used to write letters (by hand) and then wait several days for them to be received. Today we send a text message. What about the news? From newspapers to world headlines, everything is at the push of a button – available instantly.
So, why is waiting so hard? Waiting is a very real reminder that the world does not revolve around me. Waiting messes with my plans. Waiting forces me to see and hear things that I’d rather ignore. Simply, waiting reveals that I am not in control. God, however, tells us that waiting is important. In fact, the Bible shows us that waiting is necessary and needed in our lives.
Are you hating the wait? Step back and give God your frustrations. Be honest. From the small annoyances to the heavy burdens, ask God to help you trade the hate in the wait for hope in the promises of God’s love and grace.
