Don't Let Your Feelings Get You Left Behind

If we go off of feelings and not faith, we can get left behind. You have to understand that feelings change depending on your circumstances but God doesn’t change depending on your circumstances, he’s always faithful. God is not moved by feelings but by faith. As the bible says, if you have faith as small of a mustard seed you can move mountains. (Matthew 17:20). The bible also says, without faith it is impossible to please God. (Hebrews 11:6). Just because things seem to be chaotic doesn’t mean that’s the end. It’s when things seem out of control when God usually takes control to remind you who He is. God never intended for us to be overtaken by our circumstances and many are when they are moved by feelings and not by faith. Your feelings will get you in trouble, they can cause you to miss the very thing God’s been trying to get to you because you move too fast or quitting. Don’t let your feelings control you, you control your feelings. You must keep in mind that God has the final say not your circumstances. Your feelings will cause you to forget what the Word says, He who promised is FAITHFUL! (Hebrews 10:23) God is always moving on your behalf regardless of how it seems. God knows what you can handle and is with you every step of the way. Many are experiencing tough and trying times now but we all have to remember, the rain makes things grow, storms are not permanent-they have an end, and the fire refines. So keep your joy and keep believing the Word of God. Choose to walk by faith and not feelings, get the release God has for you. Stay in the race. -Eri
