Sometimes we envy the paths others take, their successes, their blessings, or the speed with which their prayers seem to be answered.
But the Bible reminds us of an essential truth: God does not lead all His children along the same path.
The Lord has never worked by copying. What He does with you is unique because His plan for your life is unique.
« I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. » (Psalm 32:8)
God doesn’t show you just one path among many, but the path that is right for you.
Joseph, for example, went through the pit, slavery, prison…
But this path became the chosen channel for his blessing.
The most painful path can conceal the greatest glory.
But why does God lay out different paths?
Because He knows your rhythm, your story, your struggles, your calling; what you don’t yet see; what will build you up… or tear you down.
Only, “in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:6)
Peace is not found in following others’ paths, but in obeying yours. That’s why it’s dangerous to compare your path to others’.
To compare is to doubt God, to
disregard your own calling, and sometimes to stray from the path where blessing awaits us.
You don’t need to walk like someone else to see grace.
You just need to walk where God is waiting for you.
PRAYER:
Lord, teach me to recognize the path You have prepared for my life.
Deliver me from comparison and grant me the peace to obey.
Lead my steps to where Your blessing awaits me.
Amen.
Apostle Dr. Jean-Claude SINDAYIGAYA
