"Since the Lord is directing our steps, why try to understand everything that happens along the way?" -Proverbs 20:24 (Living Bible translation)
Do you realize that you are not to walk by your feelings but simply by the naked, unadulterated truth of what God says?
Feelings play a powerful role in our lives, but they must be weighed against the reality of God's word and His wisdom. Trusting our feelings, which can shift like waves in a wind-tossed storm, can destroy relationships, take lives and render a person impotent and unable to cope with everyday situations of life. Feelings can keep you from attaining the calling God has on your life. They can keep you from stepping out in faith. Perhaps your feelings are out of control because of a hormonal or chemical imbalance. Or perhaps you have believed one of Satan's lies. Check with your doctor and check in the Word of God. Whatever the cause, God tells you to bring every thought, every feeling captive to the obedience of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). If you will believe God's word-no matter what your feelings-victory will come.
