Thoughts for the Day

Often we are ruled by our feelings, rather than the truth of God's Word. Instead of letting our actions be determined by our feelings (which can delude us), we need to base our actions on what is certain and true. We need to grow in our knowledge of God and of Jesus. We need to understand what Jesus did for us on the cross and the way God sees us. We need to grow in our knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord. It is only as we do this that we open the door to receive more and more grace and peace from God.

How do we grow in our knowledge? The answer is really very basic. We need to prayerfully study the Bible. We need to spend time in prayer and learn to listen to God. Only then can we begin to live based on our knowledge of who we are through faith in Jesus Christ. We also need to realize that this is a lifetime process. Every day we have choices to make: Are we going to base our actions on feelings of fear, insecurity, hopelessness, grief, etc.-or are we going to believe God?

Consider This . . .


Your feelings may be telling you that you are worthless, but in Christ you are redeemed (paid for at great cost)-you are valuable! Your feelings may tell you that you are dirty and guilty, but God's Word says in Ephesians 1:7 that you are forgiven, clean, and that all your sins have been wiped from God's sight.
