In this Friday devotional, we explore the book of Haggai (Chapters 1-2), where the Israelites face discouragement after the Babylonian exile. While younger generations celebrate rebuilding the temple, older Israelites who remember Solomon's magnificent original temple feel disappointed by comparison. This ancient story reveals a timeless truth: our expectations often fall short when they're linked to comparisons. Whether it's our spouse, children, career, or finances, comparing ourselves to others puts us on a path we were never meant to walk. Discover how to manage your expectations instead of letting them manage you, and learn to embrace the unique journey God has designed specifically for you.
