Feelings?

Let’s talk about them… consider this… Eve “felt” a certain way about something contradictory to God’s command and the Truth… Adam “felt” a certain way about how his wife “felt” about things…. and that was contradictory to God’s command and the Truth. But they each went with their feelings… and here we are… still suffering.

Next time you “feel” something, ask yourself what is the Truth of the matter? Ask yourself if your feelings align with God’s commands and His Truth. Do you know His commands and His Truth? Don’t you see that feelings are what got us in trouble in the first place? Getting emotional has its place, and our capacity for feelings was put there by God… but if that capacity is not full of His Word, then something else is going to fill that space. Evaluate your feelings and seek understanding in the alignment of your emotions with the Truth of God’s Word before you act. Don’t compare what you feel with what you see going on around you… judge yourself against God’s Word, not others' advice. Do not attempt to align your feelings with God’s grace if you are simply looking for a way to justify sin. If something is 99% true… it is a lie.
