How much do we act on what we feel, and how much do we act on the facts we know?
There are many who attend to the statement: "If it feels good, do it!" The truth of the matter is that our feelings can fool us, and have us be involved in things, that might have felt right at the moment, but later caused us great sorrow and regret.
It is always better to operate with the principles of God's Word, than on pure feelings. God has designed His word for our benefit. When we apply God's Word to our lives, we find out every time, that it works.
An airplane pilot has to depend on his/her instruments when flying into a storm, and vision is limited. If they don't, they may find themselves flying upside down, ready to crash into a mountain.
Am I saying that we shouldn't ever rely upon what we feel? Certainly not! But for the overall direction we need, we need to trust the Lord, and His Word. And the promise is that He will direct our paths.
Thank God, His word does not change. We can depend on it, to get us to where we need to be, for this life, and for the next! GP
