Keeping our eyes on our own plates...
Psalm 37:7 (36:7 LXX)
Submit to the Lord, and supplicate Him;
Do not be envious of him who prospers in his way,
Nor of him who transgresses the law.
Personal Challenge...
Our priest often reminds us that we we are in the midst of our own personal fast that we are not to look at our brother's plate. This prevents us from being puffed up by thinking that we are doing a better job at fasting or so that we avoid becoming envious of what our brother has. Our Lord want us to be content where He has brought us on our sojourn to His promised land and to not compare ourselves to others. Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
