Believe God’s word and power more than you believe your own feelings and experiences.
—Samuel Rutherford
Sometimes we think about God based more on our feelings than on His Word. His promises are true and never failing. Don’t believe your feelings (which often lie) over the Word of God (which never does). Our feelings about God are wrong if they stand in opposition to God’s Word.
I have heard people tell me that they felt God leading them to do _________ (fill-in-the-blank), but the thing that they shared with me that they were doing was contrary to what God commands in His Word. We can’t rip out pages, portions, or passages of the Bible just because we feel they should say something else. God’s Word has stood the test of time. Hold firmly to it, over your feelings and experiences, if you wish to see His power and experience true abundant living.
