Why Comparison Is Dangerous | Steven Furtick

How do you measure success? The world has its own idea of what success should look like, but if you compare yourself to it, you’ll come up short every time.

By looking at an example in 1 Samuel 16, Pastor Steven Furtick shares how Samuel tried to choose a king using the world’s standards. However, Verse 7 told him, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

Through this teaching, we will learn to measure ourselves God’s way and see what He put in each one of us.

Best thing I did for myself was delete ALL social media. Comparison will ALWAYS be the greatest thief of joy! AMEN! 🙏🏽

“Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, for each one should carry his own load.” 2 Corinthians 10:12

When you try to keep up with somebody else, you will feel the weight that doesn't come from above because you let somebody else set your scales 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Wow... this literally touches me.
Yesterday, I broke down at work and I cried for about 15 minutes. I compared myself to a former classmate who is now going to start her DNP program. I literally, got so angry and be mad at God but asking “Where the heck were you or are you?” Would losing my faith be enough for you to come? What would it take for you to come around? I’ve done everything. I’ve tried it all. I’ve surrendered. I’ve done things accordingly now.. but... where’s my reward? A voice came over me and said “God does not measure my acts of manipulation in order to receive his blessings and grace. He measures my heart.” Then, I realized that, I was so fake... ive been doing these things in exchange for what I dreamed and hoped for. While God, wanted me to transform my heart! I felt better last night and I slept in peace for the first time in a long time.

I now know what God was looking for which was my heart not my actions.
God is good. Serve God!

the thing he said about the people who are popular now may be popular now but they aren’t preparing for their purpose is so trueee . popularity isn’t important and trust me to anyone my age or younger reading this it doesn’t matter so don’t be discouraged if you’re not the most known person because at least you know who are and what God’s instilled in you because no one can take that way from you

I was a looking at struggles with a stick not knowing it’s all to bring me closer to God. I struggle at times bc it’s so easy to measure life by a stick. But every time I did it I was at the shorten end in everything, by looks, by being black, by being a female etc as if God didn’t know me before I was born, stitched me up in my mothers womb and knows my name. Everything that we go thru in life is for betterment of our future. Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you, " declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. I always learn something from all your videos pastor furtick. Thank you

Sometimes, all the time we just have to stop analyzing our outcome before it happens. We can start by allowing God to hold that stick in our lives because we weren’t meant to measure what God has already put into place. All we have to do is hold onto our faith and let God hold that stick. Guess what, He won’t measure our mistakes, He will refine them to His Will. Thank you Pastor Steve needed this to start my day. God bless you all🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🏼🙌🏼

13:41 He didn’t just go there! 😂 Great words today, it was much needed! We have to understand that God rules over every person, mountain, situation, kingdom, and it’s his authority that allows it to exist. And if that same God is on our side, we don’t need to measure how big the problem is, but understand that God’s power outweighs anything we’re dealing with.
