Day 3 - Thank God: Daily Devotional

Day 3: The Danger of Comparison

Reading: Genesis 3:1-7; 2 Corinthians 10:12

Devotional: Eve had everything—God's presence, abundance, dominion, heaven on earth. Yet Satan sowed discontentment: "You will be like God." She compared her state to something she didn't have, and entitlement destroyed paradise. When we compare ourselves to others, asking "Why them and not me?" we're repeating Eve's mistake. You don't know what others sacrificed, the nights of prayer they endured, or what God broke in them to prepare them for their position. Comparison breeds jealousy and blinds you to your own blessings. Instead, celebrate others with genuine joy. Their elevation doesn't diminish yours. God has a unique calling for you that requires contentment, not competition.
