I heard a story once that said we have a daily battle we face between good and evil that is like having 2 animals living inside us. One animal is loving, caring and has a desire to do what's right. The other is angry, quick tempered and seeks evil. The question is, "Which one wins this battle?"
Answer: The one you feed.
What can we do to feed the good animal. Prayer, Bible Study, keep scripture fresh in our minds, keep a song on our heart, sing praises daily to the Lord. Spend time around positive encouraging people. Exercise. Eat Healthy, think pure thoughts.
These are just a few of the things we should do in order to keep God fresh in our hearts and keep the good animal living inside of us always the victor.
Praise the Lord!
Wow! Well said! I can't agree anymore than what you've just said. We nourish our spirit by feeding on the word of God, through prayer, His word, praising...you've said it all.
