#proverbs 23:2

“When you sit down to dine with a ruler, consider carefully what is [set] before you; for you will put a knife to your throat if you are a man of great appetite. 

Do not desire his delicacies, for it is deceptive food [offered to you with questionable motives].” 

     An old Indian warrior was talking to a group of young braves by a campfire late in the evening.  The old warrior's shadow loomed large behind him, flickering with the fire.

    "Every warrior," intoned the old warrior, "faces an inner struggle.  This struggle is like two great dogs, one evil and one good.  These dogs constantly fight each other for dominance.  It is a vicious battle.  As one dog looks like it will finally triumph, the other dog fights back even harder to try to regain control."

     The young braves listen wide-eyed in rapt attention.  There is a moment of silence, before one brave asks in a barely audible whisper: "Which dog will win?"

     The old warrior pauses for what seemed like an eternity then solemnly replied, "It depends on which dog you feed."

     Will you choose to feast upon the bread of life or will you feed sin?
