little thoughts
Romans 7:7 “Well then am I suggesting that the law of God is sinful? Of course not! In fact, it was the law that showed me my sin. I would never have known that coveting is wrong if the law had not said “you must not covet.”
I used to worry, constantly thinking, ‘do I feel the right way?’, asking myself, “well, how do you feel? What are your feelings telling you?” Oh, how foolish and silly I am, how simple minded. Why would I ever rely on my understanding when I am plainly told in Proverbs not to do that. God is the only good in me how then could any good come from something within myself? The only good I can produce is because of God at work within me through the Holy Spirit. My feelings are circumstantial which is the opposite of what our God is like. God is constant, never changing while my feelings are ever changing. God began teaching me about this years ago but Oh His unlimited grace and patience continuing to teach me and pursue me.
Look not to your feelings for guidance but to the One who sees all, knows all, and loves all. He has never failed to hear me and has never failed to answer me.
