Left to our own devices, we tend to lie to ourselves. We deceive ourselves into hearing what we want to hear, doing what is pleasing to our senses, and pursuing what makes us feel happy.
When we seek to live by God’s wisdom, we say to our emotions; “I walk by faith, not by sight. I will not base my decisions on the way I feel, or the way that I think a certain decision will cause me to feel. I will walk by the Word of God. I will trust the Holy Spirit to guide me, not my desires, impulses and emotions.”
Let God be your answer! He will never fail you.
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised). Hebrews 10:22-23.
