Podcast Episode 21 Comparison Is The Thief Of Joy

Journey with a Queen

"Theodore Roosevelt once said, “Comparison is the thief of joyDon't compare, comparison can cause feelings of Inadequacy, insufficiency, incompetence, and deficiency. Is Comparison a Biblical Concept?Scripture shows us again and again that comparison causes problems. It doesn’t end well, whether it’s comparing ourselves to someone else, as Rachel and Leah did, or comparing a person against another person, like Jacob compared Rachel to Leah. Rachel and Leah’s comparison feud ruined their bond as sisters and caused competition hurting both their families. Jacob’s preference for Rachel and the favoritism he showed her and her children led to all kinds of family drama and pain. You can read their story in Genesis 29-50.
