Soldier of The cross, God's Word is your bottom line.
Those who trust and obey are those who experience less emotional turmoil and more delight in the enjoyment of Him and His Own.
Yes, we have been created with emotions and there are times when things are stirred within us in order to cause us to be led by the Lord. For example, many missionaries have known a longing for a land or a peoples, long before being sent. Compassion is a feeling that is stirred by the Holy Spirit. For the Believer, it is the stirring of the heart by the Holy Spirit, in order to love the unlovely and the hurting.
There is a thrill and explosive joy experienced in His Presence. There is also a chromatic array of both human and supernatural love. Grief is a strong emotion that is a necessary expression of loss.
While the Church today should not be without feeling, there is far too much emphasis on one's own emotions.
Yes, the emotions have been redeemed. However, many are led by feeling, and this ought not to be. Negative emotions such as fear, resentment, anger, need for security - these all feed the flesh and leave the Believer powerless.
We leave the matter with Him in prayer and we do so by faith. I have heard people say they "tried to give it to God, but it did not work." There is rarely instant relief or instant healing. Like everything else, we yield the burden by faith. We tell Him we want His way. We do it aloud. We stand on the Word in prayer - I have done this many times, feeling wretched, but telling Him I want Him more than anything, and declaring whatever His Word says about the matter.
I spoke recently with an old friend who is a remarkable listener and equally responsive. It reminded me of the sensitivity that is available in prayer - His availability to us. We can't begin to imagine the tenderness with which He listens or the understanding He offers.
He has said that it is His Word that is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. Not our emotions.
On Christ the Solid Rock I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand!
