Each one should test his own actions.  Then he can take pride in himself, with out comparing himself to somebody else,  for each one should carry his own load. Galatians 6: 4-5

I often get caught in the trap of "comparing myself to others" even when I am trying to do God's will.  I will look at how others are serving the Lord and say to myself, "look how they are serving God - I wish I was doing important work like that". It often makes me feel like I am not enough or doing enough.  The truth is I/we are enough already.  God gave us the gift of being his sons and daughters and we don't need to do anything to be his child.  Instead of looking at what others are doing and how they are serving, I need to take quiet time with the Lord and ask him, "is this what you want me to be doing in this moment of time Lord."  If the answer is "yes" then I can rest in that. If God wants to use me for more - then he will put that on my heart,  mind and in my dreams.  As long as I am giving God the time and the quiet to speak into my heart then I can be confident that he is showing me His Will for my life and for serving.

Prayer -  Lord Jesus Christ and God our father  who loves us please give us encouragement, strength, and peace as we seek you.  May God the father fill us today with His good hope for our lives as we wait for you.  Help us to wait with expectant hope and patients and to trust you! Amen
