Pulling out my calendar I started checking off tasks that I have accomplished this week. As I was going through this past week I thought about all that I have been involved in and I also thought about the many emotions that I have felt. This past week has been a bit of a struggle for me. I really cannot put my finger on one cause but I do know that I have had to fight (and I do mean fight) off feelings of defeat and low self worth.
However, I want to put all of this in perspective. There are many factors that go into my feelings. I know if I don’t get the proper amount of sleep, that fact colors my world view. I also know that exercise, expectations of situations and people and many other variables go into how I feel. But what is most surprising about all of this is that I sometimes pay what too much attention to my feelings. Feelings are just feelings and I know that my life is not built on them. In fact my Rock is God who is above human feelings. (Not that He doesn’t have them) This week God has reminded me in many ways that my life is built on a faith in Him not on how I feel. Feelings are just feelings and I will trust in God and His way to work all for good to those who love Him.
