The One You Feed
David Jeremiah
Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
Galatians 5:16
Recommended Reading
Galatians 5:16-18
An anonymous poem says: "Two passions beat within my chest, the one is foul, the other blessed. The one I love, the other I hate; the one I feed will dominate." This is similar to the message of Galatians 5, which says: "The flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another…." While God's children are on earth, we're subject to the temptations of the world, the flesh, and the devil. We need to make sure we're feeding the right passions, impulses, and attitudes.
As it relates to the future, that means keeping our eyes on Christ in faith, not on the world in fear. While being aware of the events of the Last Days and the coming of the Antichrist, we mustn't overly focus on that, but on our Lord and His glorious return.
Keep your eyes on the Lord, feed on His faithfulness, resist the devil, and draw near to God. Feed your faith and starve your fears.
Don't give your fears any of your time or energy. Don't feed them with gossip or negative news shows or frightening movies. Focus on your faith and feed it.
