There is an interesting finding when researchers ask people to list what they don’t like in their lives. They can list a lot immediately. In comparison when asked to list what they do like, its not as long of a list…. However this is where it gets tricky. If given an unlimited amount of time, those asked this question can always come up with more things they do like in their lives. Its seems we all have more good than bad, but its easier to focus on the bad.
- Count your blessings. And work with what he has given you.
Focus on the good and good feelings follow
Think about it…(when we compare) we typically think if I had that I would be happy… the root is greed.
But the foundation of that is you are saying God is not enough.
*You build an offense against God by comparing.
BUT IF YOU BEGIN TO SEE ALL THAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU- IT WILL CHANGE YOUR OUTLOOK.
Well if God gave me this, he will probably help me do and have this.
The scripture principle is simple: what you sow you reap. What you focus on in your mind “what you sow into your mind” is what you reap… is what you reap in your mind. If you constantly focus on comparing and coming up short…. you will only notice your shortcomings.
Matthew 25 The parable of the talents. God gave 3 servants talents. 2 of them focused on what God had given them and it multiplied. One focused on fear, comparing his life to what the master might do.
*But here is the truly interesting thing in the story… you attract what you focus on. The servant who focused on what his master had entrusted to him not only doubled his gain… but The master also gave him what the wicked servant was given. You compare yourself to others and in doing so focus on what you don’t have and you get less… You focus on what you do have and God gives you even more.
Comparison simply repels Gods blessing.
