The Battle Between Truth & Feelings
"The worst battle I've ever fought is between what I knew and what I felt." How true is this? Emotions and feelings can feel so like truth. They can be so blinding, leading us on a goose chase to get what we think (feel) we need. They become the thing we live for and strive after. They can lead you away from good friendships, from the truth you grew up learning, running from good and clear counsel. It's so dangerous to chase after your feelings, believe them to be truth over everything else- over true wisdom, truth, honesty, true love and friendship, and blind you to follow after the worlds version of truth or what your heart wants. How scary is that. What we know is truth... We know as believers that God's word is the only source of truth. It is our anchor, our truth, what we live by. When the world feeds us lies and these half-truths fueled to feed our sinful desires, we can always turn to God's word to lead us and guide us in our lives.
We we were a lot younger your Mom and I went camping with a church group in Yosemite. One night we were asleep a big bear came and stole our food we had hanging in the trees. I was so big it reached all the way up and pulled the food down. The group leader said that the bear was sniffing around my head as I was asleep. I must be a sound sleeper and not look very good to eat.
ReplyDeleteHi Alyssa. That sounds very interesting. Let me know how it turns out. When I was 5, my mother and father went to Yosemite, and a bear came into our cabin we were staying at, and ate a chocolate cake my mother made. That is as close to a bear I've ever gotten. With all my love, grandma king
