Philippians 4:8-9 (ESV)
8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is
honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is
commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise,
think about these things. 9 What you have learned[a] and received and heard and
seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
I read the following story on line.
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a
battle that goes on in every person. He said, "My son, 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, superiority, and ego. The other is good -- it is joy, peace, love,
hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth,
compassion and faith."
The grand son thought for a minute and then asked his
grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you
feed."
Need I say any more?
Let's start feeding the good wolf, that we might flourish
for the Lord and do great things for Him! There's so much work to be done!!
Dear Lord, help us feed the good wolf in our life. Let us
not give into temptation of the evil one. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
