Quit Comparing

Posted on by


I’ve read that verse a hundred times or more and realized that comparisons involving myself and someone else are self-defeating. The only true comparison I can make is between me and me. If a comparison must be made it can be done a bit differently. I can look at a past experience and compare the current incident to determine if there has been any growth. So then if I can see progress I will feel better, if not, I’ll need to find a way to improve.

Abba, Father, in Jesus’ Name I thank You for creating me as a unique individual. Forgive me for comparing myself to anyone else and help me see myself as You see me.

Walking Wisely

Posted on by

This verse is David’s earnest plea for God’s guidance. He wants every step he takes to be led by God’s Word. He is asking God to shield him from any and all kinds of sin.

Like David, is it your greatest desire to be in total harmony with God’s Word? I hope so and I hope these 3 steps will help you on that journey.

Step 1: Reflect on your own path. Are you following the path He has planned for you?

Step 2: Surrender completely and trust totally that He knows what He’s doing. Invite Him, whose wisdom surpasses all understanding to guide you in all you think, say, and do. (Philippians 4:7)

Step 3: In this battle against temptation and sin, we need to take up David’s battle cry, “Let no sin rule over me!” The victory is ours!

Take a moment now to meditate and pray. Allow the wisdom of Psalm 119:133 to permeate your soul. Let it guide and strengthen your resolve to walk single-mindedly in God’s Word and ways.

Psalm 16

LORD, protect me! You are all that is good in me.

Your people are a great joy to me. I refuse to recognize any who choose any GOD but You.

I have chosen You and know You have a beautiful plan and purpose for me.

Thank You for Your word! I am secure both day and night in it.

I will follow Your way. You are always with me! I will not fear what is to come. I am secure in You. I know heaven is waiting.

You are my Lifeguide, my Joy-giver! You are my happiness forever!

Sunday Psalm 15

Psalm 15

Father, help me do and be all You want.

Forgive me, help me do what is right. Help me to speak and know Your truth, to never lie about others or harm my neighbors in any way, and to never speak against my friends.

I will despise all evil. I will honor and respect You! I will not change my witness. I will give without expecting anything in return. I will never speak against an innocent person. I will do the work You have given me with honesty and integrity.

Give me the strength to stand and never be moved!
