God’s Word should be the standard for your life. Your development and advancement in life will never come by comparing yourself to where others are in life. The race is not to the swift, neither is the battle to the strong, but time and chance happen to them all.
If Apostle Paul had compared himself to other men of God of his time who considered themselves superior to him, he wouldn’t have made the impact he did in Christendom.
Paul was the least qualified of all saints to preach the Gospel to the Gentiles, but grace was given to him. When you make the Word of God the standard of your life, it qualifies and catapults you for advancement and elevation in life.
