Some people seem to have it all together. They do all the important things in life right on target. Education, marriage, and then after a couple of years a family. Nothing wrong with that, but there is a snare we can fall into if we do not know the ways of the devil. Satan tempts us who belong to the Lord to think that "if" we had done things differently we would be as happy as they. Some people are living their lives better than others, but it is a sin to compare our lives with their lives.
Galatians 6:4-5
"Don’t compare yourself with others. Just look at your own work to see if you have done anything to be proud of. 5 You must each accept the responsibilities that are yours".
There are football players making millions while soldiers are making 18,000.00 a year. Is this fair? I can report to you that what seems unfair to us is very fair to God. He predestined everything before anything was made. God is just in all that He has done and will do.
So the next time you catch yourself wishing you had someone else's life, think about this verse. It will help because the wisdom of God will overcome thoughts that come from the enemy.
