DO WHAT YOU SHOULD
Gal. 6:4 Be sure to do what you should, for then you will enjoy
the personal satisfaction of having done your work well, and you won't need to
compare yourself to anyone else. For we are each responsible for our own
conduct. NLT
What should you be
doing with your life? Do you know deep down in your soul that God wants you to
do something different than what you are now doing? Are you in the occupation
you should be in? Are you living where He wants you to live? Are you behaving
in a way that pleases Him? Are you striving to be at your best in what you are
doing? In other words, does your living bring satisfaction to your soul, and to
God?
If you can answer the
above questions positively, then you won't need to compare yourself with
others. It is enough to know that you are living rightly before God. Pleasing
God is all that really matters in life. It is God to whom we will answer to. He
is the one who will bless or curse our living. How we are doing compared to
others is a dead-end street. It gets us nowhere fast.
Each of us is
responsible for our own conduct. Whatever the Lord requires of you is what you
should be doing. You don't have to please anyone but God. Don't get hung up on
the comparison game. It doesn't matter how you are doing compared to anyone
else. All that matters is how you are doing in relationship to God's Word and
His direction in your life.th
And, don't let anyone
discourage you from doing what you know the Lord wants you to do. People have
opinions that may or may not be in agreement with what you know God wants you
to do. Obey God no matter what. Persevere until you are able to do what you do
well. Stay focused on the Lord and He will enable you to succeed.
Listen to God and
only those who encourage you. It is then that you will find great satisfaction
in what you do in life.
