Our Feelings Are Not the Boss of Us

Our feelings are unstable. Feelings change moment to moment. I’m not saying that our feelings and our emotions are bad. God gave them to us to fully experience and appreciate life. However, our feelings and emotions should never be in the drivers seat. They make lousy motorists. We walk by faith and not be sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). In this verse, sight is emblematic of our senses, feelings and emotions. Faith in God and in His Word must take precedence over feelings and emotions in order to be victorious in this life.

Simple Reminders of who we are, what we have, and what we can do in Christ can empower us to overcome in virtually every area of life. Countless times in scripture we are commanded to remember. Remembering causes the current monsters we’re facing to shrink before our eyes.

Remembering that God is working in us, on us, around us and through us causes the believer to become bold as a lion. And remembering how our Heavenly Father has delivered us from situations and circumstances in our lives that at one point looked bleak, strengthens us to endure present circumstances knowing that the God of deliverance still lives.

All Things Are Possible with God

The same God who delivered you in the past is more than willing and able to deliver you from your current challenge. The key in realizing your deliverance is remembering how He supernaturally delivered you in your past situation and praising Him for deliverance in your current challenge.
