Don't be Led Astray by Feelings Feelings are the product of our personalities reacting to outside stimuli or internal thoughts. Feelings are illusory and often fleeting. Although feelings can be positive, they are not something on which you can build your life. A spiritual person can never be ruled by feelings. What should govern our lives is faith in God's Word.
Emotions come and go.
One minute we can be on top of the world and the next we are in the dumps. Circumstances or a careless remark can deeply depress us. This means that our belief and trust in God and the promises of His Word should rule over our feelings. We must believe God whether we feel like it or not. This does not mean that we become robots or lose our capacity for spontaneity.
