Our feelings are no different than that sand. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick who can understand it? ( Jer. Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered ( Prov. Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding ( Prov. The Bible is quick to tell us that our feelings (or hearts, more accurately) canвЂ™t be trusted. My worship time was completely regulated by my feelings as well-if I feltВ near to God, then I had worshiped effectively and rightly.Дo you live by your feelings? Do you live in a similar way that I did? If so, we need to consider what GodвЂ™s Word has to say about our feelings and what living by faith actually looks like.

I often gave into temptation to sin because it feltВ better than obedience. I struggled to believe that God still loved me when I sinned because I couldnвЂ™t feelВ His love. I doubted my salvation because it didnвЂ™t feelВ real. Shortly after I became a believer, I still lived by my feelings rather than my faith. If a pathway wasnвЂ™t accompanied by a nice feeling, it wasnвЂ™t the one I took. My feelings informed my reactions to life and directed my every step. Before I became a believer, I lived fully by feeling. Have you ever made a decision because it simply вЂњfelt rightвЂќ? Have you ever said something because it вЂњfelt like the perfect momentвЂќ? I know I have. And yet so many of us choose to live by something else-our feelings. What are you led by? What directs your decisions, actions, words, and thoughts?ДЄs believers, weвЂ™re called to live by faith.

Faith evans you use to love me
