Sometimes what we feel seems so real, so convincing—it must be from God, right? Not always. Our emotions are powerful, but they’re not always trustworthy. And if we rely solely on how something makes us feel, we risk mistaking emotional surges for divine direction.
Our springboard for today’s discussion is:"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?" — Jeremiah 17:9
Here’s the truth: God created emotions. They’re not evil. Joy, sadness, passion, fear—all have their place. But emotions make terrible leaders. They were meant to follow truth, not determine it.
God’s voice isn’t dictated by your emotional highs or lows. Just because something feels urgent, exciting, or overwhelming doesn’t mean it’s God speaking. On the flip side, just because something feels uncomfortable or painful doesn’t mean it isn’t Him.
The enemy loves to stir your emotions to drown out the whisper of God. But God speaks with steadiness. His Spirit brings clarity even in the midst of chaos. His voice may convict, but it will never crush. It may challenge, but it will never confuse.
So before you act on a strong emotion—pause. Ask God to reveal the truth beneath the feeling. Anchor your decisions in His Word, not your mood.
Question of the Day:How can you ground your emotions in truth?
Let’s Pray:Lord, thank You for giving me emotions—but help me not to be ruled by them. Teach me to recognize Your voice even when my feelings scream otherwise. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Let’s Get To Work!God’s truth won’t always feel right—but it will always be right.
