THE PILGRIMS GUIDE SUNDAY MAY 11, 2025 AVOID UNHEALTHY COMPETITION A WORD FROM THE WORD: "Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another." Galatians 5:26 NKJV A story was told online where a pack of dogs were put to compete with the cheetah by a circus manager, the goal was to find out which among them is faster. Everyone was surprised that the cheetah didn't move out of its place, the circus manager asked the cheetah handler what happened. His response was 'I suppose the cheetah knows something we didn't quite consider.' And what would that be? asked the manager hotly. 'That sometimes trying to prove that you're the best isn't just a waste of time, but also an insult' he replied. We don't need to go down to other people's level, to make them understand that we are the strongest. Think hard and save your energy for what you deserve. Cheetah uses its speed to hunt, not to prove to dogs that it is faster and stronger. You don't have to waste your time to prove your value. PRAYER BULLETS: Dear heavenly Father, help me to be focused and avoid the temptation of time wasting to prove my value.
