Have you ever found yourself justifying how you are or how you handle a situation? Maybe you have found an opportunity that allows you to compare yourself to another person. Often we might even compare ourselves to other "believers". Just like a lion finds the weakest in a herd, we allow ourselves to find the faults in others to base our comparisons. Wow, not much of a benchmark is it?
Here is your stone!! "We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise." (2 Corinthians 10:12 NIV). We must recognize that we all fail and yet God knows we are not perfect. Our benchmark- Jesus!! Strive to be like Him and know that God understands we won't make that level, but will glorify Him on the journey.
