My emotions vs my Promises.

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1 vs 19
 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we proclaimed among you, Silvanus and Timothy and I, was not Yes and No, but in him it is always Yes. 20 For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory.

I have noticed how I make emotional decisions. I have come to a place where I'm able to keep calm outside when I'm boiling inside. And I used to think that was enough, never stir unnecessary strife, never elongate painful situations and what not. Self preservation and all that. But not until I started to feel like the children of Egypt going in circles in the wilderness for 40 years when better has been promised to me.

So instead of making decisions off of "I'm never doing that/again because I never want to feel like that\again." I want to decide by yes I have the power to trample over the scorpions and serpents of this earth, yes I am the head and not the tail, yes whatever I ask in His name I will get, yes all things will work out for my good and yes I can, yes I'm enough, yes I'm significant coz why else would I have been fearfully and wonderfully made?

The reason is not only because if I focus on myself more than on Him I will be cheating myself of all that's been promised to me but because I will never have pure motives if I work off of how I feel. Everything I do, however good, will be to make me feel good. It won't edify others or glorify God.

So in pursuing the testimony I will strive for a grip on my emotions. Get it together. So I can walk by faith and not by feeling/sight.

...so help me God...
