Demons don't dare compare!
2nd Thursday in Ordinary Time
1 Samuel 18:6-9,19:1-7; Mk 3: 7-12
As Jesus chases the demons away from the persons possessed with them, the demons acknowledge the Son of God and give him the rightful place. Not even the demons dared compare themselves with the Son of God. They knew, any comparison would only make them more frustrated than they were. Saul failed to learn this lesson and that spelt his doom. He compared himself with David and forgot the good that he himself was able to do with the help of God. Comparison is a poison and it will surely kill you someday.
