The Dog You Feed

Summary: With forces struggling for our attention, the dog you feed will always win.
But the good news is... in this clash of powerful forces in our lives... the struggle of the right and the wrong... the presence of Christ assures us of the outcome.
How does it go? I don’t know what the future holds, but Praise God I know who holds the future. As we build our relationship with the One who loves us best, we build his strength into our own inner lives.
An old American Indian tale recounts the story of a chief who was telling a gathering of young braves about the struggle within. "It is like two dogs fighting inside of us," the chief told them. "There is one good dog who wants to do the right and the other dog always wants to do the wrong. Sometimes the good dog seems stronger and is winning the fight. But sometimes the bad dog is stronger and wrong is winning the fight."
"Who is going to win in the end?" a young brave asks.
The chief answered "The one you feed."
Can we relate to the clash of titans or the “Chiefs” dogs? “The one you feed”…you know being a Christian isn’t a “One Time All You Can Eat Buffet” it is feeding and nourishing ourselves for a lifetime! The “Bread of Life”, the “Water of Life” and our “DAILY” Bread. If you have never tasted God’s menu…the table is open, and if you have but it’s been a long time between meals…Jesus is reminding you now that you’re an honored guest at His table. Don’t sit in the back, come on down. God Bless.
