Which Wolf Do You Feed?

The Cherokee are a Native American people historically settled in the
Southeastern United States (principally Georgia, the Carolinas and Eastern Tennessee).

"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." -Romans 12:21

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a debate that goes on inside people. He said,"My son, the battle between two wolves is inside us all. 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 grandson thought about this for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

So, which wolf did you feed?

Prayer:

Lord, teach us and lead us to what is good May we overcome evil by good. Amen.
