An elder 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 thought about it and asked, “Grandfather, which wolf wins?” The old man quietly replied, “the one you feed.”
This story speaks to the core of our being. It does not matter who actually spoke this story. It raises a question that has resounded through the ages. Do we feed evil or do we feed good? And where do we find our nourishment? I believe only God can fill us. The two Scripture verses for this week are just a brief selection of the deep wisdom that comes to us through God’s Word, as written in the Bible and as lived in Jesus Christ.
