“The wise woman builds her house, but the foolish one with
her own hands tears it down.” Proverbs
14:1
There is a contest going on between Elijah, a prophet of
God, and the prophets of Baal in 1 Kings 18 to see which god is the true
God. Elijah has challenged the prophets
of Baal and the contest is beginning.
The prophets of Baal prepared their altar with a bull. Then
they begged all day, but Baal did not respond . . . because he was not real.
Elijah then called to the people to gather around and he
restored the altar of the Lord, he put wood on the altar and cut a bull in
pieces and laid it on the wood. Then he
had four jars filled with water and poured over the altar and this was repeated
three times until the altar was drenched.
Elijah prayed to the Lord God and asked Him to show the people that He
was God.
“Then the fire of the Lord fell
and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust and
licked up the water in the trench. And when all the people saw it, they fell on
their faces and said,
The Lord, He is God;
the Lord, He is God.”
The Lord, He is God;
the Lord, He is God.”
Elijah seized all the prophets of Baal and slaughtered all
of them. The people of Israel turned
from Baal to God. The false prophets
were not sitting at the table anymore.
As a believer in Jesus Christ we have a new nature living in
us. In Ephesians 4:22-24 we are told “to
put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is
corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your
minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true
righteousness and holiness.” But my old
nature continues to take a seat at the table along with my new nature.
Whichever nature I am feeding is the one that is stronger.
Are you feeding daily on God’s Word?

Proverbs 14:1 tells us that “The wise woman builds her
house, but the foolish one with her own hands tears it down.”
Be a wise woman and check who is sitting at your table:
Is the internet,
your cell phone,
or television controlling your table time?

Don’t feed the old nature.
Ask yourself these questions:
- Who is sitting at my table?
- Am I feeding my old nature or my new nature?
- How am I influencing the next generation?
