Two Wolves
.
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all.
One is Evil: It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, worry, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good: It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, humor, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
I sat at the computer this morning unable to zero in on the scripture about which to write. I received an email from one of my dear Covenant Sisters about 30 seconds before I was ready to give up and not post anything today.
You pick the verse this morning. There are plenty to choose from with this same message.
My prayer today is that you feed the wolf that leads to heaven.
