"Progress Report Time"

Teachers do progress reports on paper of our children to let us know how they are progressing along in school among their peers...That's what teachers do.

However, we as adults, tend to not measure our progress on paper. Instead, the first thing we do is look at The Joneses and see how blessed they "appear to be" and start comparing ourselves to them, comparing our journey to theirs. Nevermind, that the bible has clearly told us NOT to compare ourselves to others, stating that comparing ourselves to others is not wise. (NIV). While the (NLT) says, It's  Ignorant! 2 Corin 10:12

Still we do it...That's we do. That's how we determine how well we are progressing alongside our peers, co-workers, neighbors etc.

And in doing so, we are robbing God; the God that created us (Genesis 1:26-27) , robbing him of his right to look and say, Good, Very good, or whatever needs to be said in that moment. 

Remember, the bible does say that, Then God looked over ALL he had made, and he saw that it was very good.  Genesis 1:31 NLT

And BELOVED, there you have it... The first progress report ever to be given came from God. 

SOMEBODY: Your progress report comes from God. He saw when your conduct was good and you didn't snap on that certain person, but managed to avoid the whole situation.  He saw you trying your best to work well with others. He saw. He saw. He saw. He knows you need improvement in this area and that area. He knows.

Therefore, you don't need to be comparing yourself to others like that. God judges, accesses things fairly, fairer than you, them or whoever and he will bless you accordingly. 

Until Next Sunday.
