Tim Tebow on How God's Plan For Our Lives Keeps Us Focused And Away From Comparisons
Author, speaker, former NFL player and Christian Tim Tebow mentioned how concentrating on God’s plan for our lives will keep us focused and help us avoid comparing ourselves to others.
God blessed human beings with five senses. The ability to taste, touch, smell, hear and see all work together to make life a richer and more fulfilling experience. Losing one or two of those senses can be devastating, throwing an individual’s life into immediate upheaval. Adjusting to a new normal without one of those senses requires time and patience.
However, while those senses are necessary, they can lead to problems when misused. For instance, social media is a constant presence in nearly everyone’s life. Facebook and Instagram are likely always within our grasp at any given moment.
Social media platforms can and do often lead to people comparing themselves to others. Individuals see what others are doing in their posts, the number of likes and shares on those posts and their number of friends and followers on those sites. This leads to people needlessly judging themselves against someone else.
But in a clip, Tim explains that if we keep our eyes on God and His plan and will for our lives, we won’t engage in this useless and potentially harmful comparison activity.
“When we just live in a state of comparison with other people, ‘Oh, he’s so much better than I am,’ right?” Tim said. “We’ll, we get so discouraged from that, but when we live in the mindset of with what I have been given, with what I have, I have a chance every day to wake up and be my best.”
He added that God has blessed everyone with gifts, talents and a purpose, which should always be our focus and to not get distracted by looking at others.
“Yes, what did God give you?” Tim said. “How has He equipped you? Why has He put you here? And when you understand that I don’t have to live in a form of comparison.”
James 1:17 “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no fickleness, neither shadow of turning.”
