The Snowy Path Ahead
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.—Proverbs 3:5–6 (NIV)
Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else.—Galatians 6:4 (NLT)
The word “competition” does not appear in the Bible. The closer you grow to Him, the more you recognize that there is no reason to compare yourself to someone else. Turn any envy over to Him. Ask Him to help you celebrate the accomplishments of others.
Heavenly Father, help me to let go of a need to win and instead to focus on what unifies me with others.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.—Proverbs 3:5–6 (NIV)
In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.—Job 1:22 (NIV)
A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.—Proverbs 14:30 (NIV)
