Fact vs. feeling

For we walk by faith, not by sight– 2 Corinthians 5:7

How are you feeling today? Happy or sad? Calm or frustrated? Up one

moment and down the next?

Feelings. We all have them—whether we like them or not. Some of us

feel things more intensely than others, but none of us can escape

them. And when our emotions rise up, they can easily cloud our vision

and make us forget God’s promises.

The truth is, feelings are real, but they’re not always reliable. They

can make what’s temporary feel permanent and what’s uncertain feel

overwhelming. But feelings don’t get the final word—God’s Word does.

His promises stand firm whether or not we feel them. His truth remains

unshaken even when our emotions waver. Like, we may not always feel

happy, but our joy is secure in Christ. Or we may feel alone, but God

has promised never to leave us or forsake us.

So whatever you’re feeling today, grab on to one truth from His Word

and cling to it until your feelings catch up with God’s truth.
