![two wolves](12 img/1_XHDUT2d7An9u_9eLFbTFsA.webp)
There is an old American Indian proverb:
This parable is especially true for Christians, the first wolf is our old nature, the second is our new nature in Christ. It is also connected to the law of sowing and reaping. When teaching this in Church, most preachers tend to focus on the financial aspect of it. Under the law of God's Kingdom your financial harvest is determined by what you spend, what you save, and what you sow into God's Kingdom. What they don't tend to focus on is that it is true of everything, not just money! if you sow anger, arrogance and evil, feeding the first wolf, that is what you will reap. If you sow violence you will reap violence.
In the sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught that if you sow mercy, you shall reap mercy.
The truth is whatever you put out there in the world, good or bad will come back to you, often multiplied. The world calls it - Karma! So feed the right wolf and put good things out into the world, so good things will come back to you. Continually put those good things out there then good things will continually come back to you. So share your blessings with others then blessings will come back to you multiplied. As the world puts it "Pay it forward".
