Bible Texts:
Jeremiah 17:9
1 John 3:20
There are many different kinds of human emotions that are triggered from daily life experiences.
For instance, when you hear that a loved one has died, it’s only natural to feel sad. And when something good happens, you automatically rejoice. Even Jesus while here on earth experienced feelings just as you do - joy, love, sadness, sympathy, grief, anguish, weariness, indignation, and even anger. It’s hard to ignore the power of emotions.
However, if not kept in check, they can easily deceive you for feelings can be fickle and are not to be trusted to help you make decisions.
People are told to “follow their heart,” but that isn’t always the safest thing to do. Live deeper than emotions.
The Bible says in Jeremiah 17:9, “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?” Measure your emotions by what God says in His Holy Word. If there is a disconnect, then you can be sure that your heart is deceiving you, just as the Bible warns.
Sometimes people get discouraged when they are going through tough times, feeling that God has abandoned them. They may even question their own Christian experience. But praise the Lord, your relationship with Jesus is not based on “feelings.” You’re going to have good and bad days, but God is with you through every heartache as well as every joyous moment in your life. Guard your feelings by giving control of your emotions to Jesus. Don’t give anyone else that power - especially the devil! Remember, no one can make you love them, make you angry, or make you happy. It is your choice who you allow to influence your feelings. Jesus is the only one who is safe to trust with your emotions, so put your trust in Him instead of . . . fickle feelings.
