Do you find yourself comparing to other people relating to their jobs, money, cars or property?

Hi everyone, welcome to Williams devotional podcast. My name is William Rogers. This is a weekly podcast with Bible scriptures and devotionals to bless your day. I hope these messages will help to lift you up and be inspired. God's grace is for all of us, regardless of our situation, and God loves you unconditionally. Trust in God as you are not alone.

Do you ever find yourself trying to compare yourself to other people relating to their belongings or anything that they may have that you don't have? Well, this week's message is titled Comparison from John chapter 21 verse 21 and 22. “When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, Lord, what about what is that to you? You follow me.”

Sometimes it's easy to look at others and compare our situation to theirs. With other men, we might compare salaries, home sizes, car styles, and the list goes on and on. We frequently wonder how we stack up. We might say, at least I'm better than that person. Or if only I was as good as that other person. It's a constant game of comparison, and we start doing that when we're young.

How many of you may remember when growing up, you're comparing yourself to others, or even your parents to your friends parents. I think we've all done it from time to time. When Jesus was talking to Peter about Peter's life, Peter wanted to compare his future with that of another disciple. Jesus basically says, it's not your concern, Peter. Be concerned about Peter about yourself. You follow me. It seems the best cure for comparison is simply turning to Jesus and following him. Think about what comparisons you might be making in your own life, particularly as a man. How can you turn your attention back to Jesus? The same goes true for women. How many women do you know that are comparing themselves to other women? A lot of them do, but we all men and women need to remember that instead of comparing ourselves to other people, we just need to turn to Jesus and remember that we're following him. God made you the way you are for a specific reason. He molded you exactly the way he wanted you to be. If he wanted you to be like that other person, he would have made you like them, but you are unique in all that you do and all that you are. So instead of comparing, be thankful and grateful for how God made you as Jesus loves you no matter what.

So let me finish up by praying for all of us. God help me to follow you and focus on you. May I turn away from the temptation to compare myself to others. Help me to stay focused on you. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Do you ever wonder if there is anything greater than the situation your going through? There is!!

Hi everyone, welcome to Williams devotional podcast. My name is William Rogers. This is a weekly podcast with Bible scriptures and devotionals to bless your day.

Hey everyone, thank you so much for a click and play this week. I hope everybody is doing well. This week's message is titled, “God is greater”, from 1 Corinthians chapter 1 verse 25. “The foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.”

It seems strange to read about God's foolishness and weakness, but what Paul is trying to help us understand is that in all things and in every way, God is greater. We live in a do-it-yourself world where many of us want to figure things out on our own. We think that if we ask for help, we're admitting that we are weak. This verse reminds us that even at our greatest and strongest, we still don't compare to God.

Isn't it encouraging to know that God is not only wise and strong, but that He is also on our side? We can confidently come to Him, knowing that He is more than sufficient to help us in every situation we will ever find ourselves in. And likewise, when others come to us for help, we can do our best to guide them by pointing them to God. God is greater than any situation you're going through. God is greater than that addiction, than insecurities. God is greater than anything you've ever faced or will face. You can get through any battle that you're dealing with and facing by going to God. God wants you to come to Him. God wants all His children to come to Him and call on Him. He has such great love for all of us, and all He wants us to do is seek Him, and He will provide for all of us.

So let me pray for us. God, help me to rest in your strength and your wisdom. Help me to trust you to help me and not try to accomplish everything on my own strength. Thank you for the wisdom and strength you gladly share with your children, as we are your children. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Do you find yourself wondering if there is strength when your going through a weakness?

Hi everyone, welcome to Williams devotional podcast. My name is William Rogers. This is a weekly podcast with Bible scriptures and devotionals to bless your day. I hope these messages will help to lift you up and be inspired. God's grace is for all of us, regardless of our situation, and God loves you unconditionally. Trust in God as you are not alone.

Do you ever find yourself wondering when you're going through a weak time, trying to figure out where there's strength in that, trying to determine how to get through that time that you're in? Well, this week's message is titled Strength and Weakness from 2 Corinthians chapter 12 verse 9. He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

We aren't all that willing to admit our weaknesses, are we? I know I'm not, and I'm sure you're not either. We don't like to confess that we get lost while driving, much less that we are struggling. We are men and women, and people are counting on us. We can do this on our own. We have to, right? Wrong.

It's time we rid ourselves of that mentality and embrace the fact that we aren't the superhero we sometimes believe we need to be. It's time we realize that we lead best when we allow God's grace and power to be evident in our lives. We are strongest when we lead and live with the dependence on God's work in our lives. As he has said, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Let's make room for God's power by admitting that we can't do it all on our own. Remember, you don't have to do it all on your own. God's power is so great, and his love for you is so strong. He's right there with you by your side, getting through it. So even in your weakest moments and you're struggling, there is strength there by God. He will give you the strength. Of course, we don't like to share with others that we're going through weak times because it feels like to us, we don't want people to have an interpretation that we're weak or we're not strong. But in reality, everybody goes through weaknesses. Everybody goes through struggles, but God gives you the strength to get through it. Focus on him and remember that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.

So let me pray for us. God, forgive me for wanting to do the things my way and on my own. Forgive me for not seeking help when I need it from others or from you. Help me to admit my weaknesses to you today. I invite you to come and work in my life. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
