God's Word is More Real
Than
the Way that You Feel!
Lots of folks don't like
to hear this because it means that there is a personal stretch
that must take place.
I am not saying that feeling has
no value, but I am saying that when resentment, worry,
fear, jealousy, anger and laziness fog us in, there should be
immediate action. Those feelings are often sprayed on us by the
enemy in the form of emotional holograms, and the appropriate
scriptural thing to do is to take an opposite action - move away
from the feeling that would easily beset us,
There should be vigorous pressing
in the direction of graciousness when resentment pounds the thoughts.
A conscious longing for wisdom must replace anger. Stepping out
in faith because of what God has said must be done even while
the fears still stir.
Provided there is no known sin
and we are in private fellowship with the Lord and public fellowship
with His Body, we must use our faculties to DO WHAT GOD HAS SAID,
no matter how we feel. There is nothing in the Word about changing
my feelings before I obey by dedicating myself each day
as a living sacrifice.
That is what the Bible says! |
