My word for August 11th is FEED
My favorite face book page “Karma Without Harm” has shut
down, but to my relief they have become “God Will test you just before Your
breakthrough’s.” I am so
glad. They have kept me going when
I didn’t think I could go forward.
Every time I click there is a quote, scripture, or saying that makes
sense and helps me to press on.
Today as I was going through their pictures I found one I love. It was a story about an old
Cherokee. It went like this:
An old cherokee told his
grandson, “My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside us all. One is evil. It is anger, jealousy,
greed, resentment, inferiority, lies and ego. The other is good.
It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, and
truth.” The boy thoguht about it,
and asked, “Grandfather, which wolf wins?” the old man quietly replied, “the
one you feed.” Author unknown
Which one are you
feeding? Are you feeding joy and
peace or evil? What does God want
us to do?
We all know the correct
answer. God wants us to feed Him
which brings us joy and peace.
When we are feeding the other we are giving strength to the devil. None of us want to feed the evil in us,
but isn’t it difficult at times?
So how do we conquer feeding the devil? The only way I find is to pray and pray continuously. Find strength in the word. This is the best medicine we have to
rid the poisen that the devil feeds us.
If we aren’t careful the devil will slip in the backdoor without us
realizing it. He will sneak up on
you and bring you down in the pit with him. The devil will keep on and on,
espiecially when you are spiritully alive, but don’t quit. Don’t feed the bad, only feed the good.
While researaching I found a great article. In this article there is quote that is
so true; “You CAN”T keep the birds
from flying over your head, but you CAN keep them from building a nest.” Don’t let Satan make a home in your
head, don’t feed him, kick him out and press on.
James 4:7(NIV)
7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee
from you.
Dear Lord we come to You to worship and praise. Help us to put on our armor to resist
the devil and not feed him. Keep
our minds full of peace and away from mental warfare. Lead us to Your word everyday finding strength to overcome
any situation that is in our path.
During 2012 guide us to a joyous place where we live in harmony all the
days of the year.
