We have to learn to believe what God says above what we feel.
Stop bowing down to your feelings and letting them rule you.
Joyce Meyer
Feelings seem so real, because we actually feel them. But feelings are produced for a variety of reasons: diet, chemical balance/imbalance, circumstances, interactions with people, disappointments, surprises..... etc. Considering all that makes up our feelings, it stands to reason that they are mostly unreliable when using them to make reliable decisions. They rise and fall with the tide of everything. God in Christ doesn't.
Hebrews 13:8 says: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
God does not change and His word does not change. No matter what happens or what we feel, it will never alter Christ or the Word of God. Realizing this, we can either choose to dwell on and react to our feelings or dwell on God's Word and act upon what He says, in spite of our feelings. The first choice will leave us confused and wandering. The second choice will give us peace and direction.
Have a very blessed day :)
Lynne
