“Let my soul rest again, for the Lord has been good to me. He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. And so, I walk in the Lord’s presence as I live on earth.” Paslm 116: 7-9
We can complicate our lives so easily. I used to try very hard to live my life through my emotions. I suddenly found that this was not the most effective way to live. My emotions took me on a wild ride every day. I would go from sadness to gladness in a moment’s notice. I would be happy and then suddenly be angered by things going on around me. Emotions are affected by the things happening around us and they are easily swayed. If we try to live though them, we will become very unpredictable. We may show kindness to someone on one day but the next we may show disregard and speak unpleasantries. Emotions give us a wild ride with all of the ups and downs they provide. I found that we were not created to live on our feelings because feelings change. What positive I did find is the Lord Jesus. His ways do not change. I found that with his saving grace he allows me to converse with him through prayer. He allows me the assurance of eternal life and a seamless transfer from this life to the next. He keeps me on solid ground when I am lonely, angry, sad, or happy. His Word gives me the information I need to stay in complete obedience with Him. It is by his grace that I am able to walk in his light, the light of his love. It is His light that reflects from us to others and allows us to be able to reach out to them in their time of conflict. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
