When Comparison Kills Courage

DEVOTIONAL | GENERAL ACCESS

In Haggai 2, God’s people were paralyzed by comparison. They looked at their small, imperfect rebuild and felt it was “as nothing” compared to Solomon’s temple. Discouragement almost silenced their obedience—but God reminded them that His presence, not human grandeur, defines true glory. This devotional will help you confront how comparison steals courage, how survival mode expectations distort what faithfulness should look like, and why the glory of Christ’s presence outshines anything we can build on our own.
