Feelings! 1-18-13

Hey friends of Thrive! In today's One Year Bible reading, I found this verse encouraging.

http://bible.us/Ps16.8.NLT 8 I know the LORD is always with me.  I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.

It is so good to know that I will not be shaken. Wait a minute, I have often felt shaken! Humm, maybe what I was feeling wasn't shaking.   Maybe it was fear of the unknown ?
It's also good to know God is right beside me.  Wait a minute (one more time), sometimes I feel lost and alone! Humm, maybe what I am feeling isn't distance from God. Maybe it is doubt and unbelief?

Wow! Seems like my feelings don't always line up with the reality of scripture.

My Prayer for Today: Lord it appears my feelings can lie to me. I often feel things that are contrary to Psalm 16:8. I pray that you would remind me today , by your Spirit, that whatever emotion I happen to be feeling is not necessarily true.  Help me fight those feelings. In addition, may I never forget the truth... You are with me.

Amen
