“We should battle through our moods, feelings, and emotions into absolute devotion to the Lord Jesus. We must break out of our own little world of experience into abandoned devotion to Him. He can present us faultless before the throne of God, inexpressibly pure, absolutely righteous, and profoundly justified. Our lives should be an absolute hymn of praise resulting from perfect, irrepressible, triumphant belief” (Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest)..

Faith based on feelings will inevitably falter at some point. Feelings are fickle, so faith needs a firmer foundation, Jesus is a solid cornerstone to build your faith upon. In fact, He is the source and sustainer of our faith.

If I wait until I’m feeling it to obey what God has told me to do, I will be disobedient, but if I obey in spite of what I feel, then my feelings will change.

Ultimate, I need a power outside myself to enable me to live out my faith. That’s where the Holy Spirit comes in. Then I can truly do all the things God calls me to through Him who gives me strength.
