What You Feed
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.” Philippians 4:8-9
Once upon a time in a land far away, there lived a very wise Woman, she told her grandson about a battle that goes on in every person. She said, “child, the battle is between two ‘wolves’. One is evil – it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, and ego. The other is good – it is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”
The grandson thought for a minute and then asked his grandmother: “Which wolf wins?”
The Grandma simply replied, “The one you feed.” That’s the Word! The one you feed prevails.
Let’s start feeding ourselves with those thoughts which edify our spirit, our soul, and our minds, that we might flourish for the Lord and do great things for Him – and the God of peace shall be with you till the end of the age!
