"The promise of God's Word, the Bible - not our feelings - is our authority. The Christian lives by faith (trust) in the trustworthiness of God Himself and His Word.
The train picture shows the relationship among fact (God and His Word), faith (our trust in God and His Word), and feeling (the result of our faith and obedience) (John 14:21).
The train will run with or without a caboose. However, it would be useless to attempt to pull the train by the caboose. In the same way, as Christians we do not depend on feelings or emotions, but we place our faith (trust) in the trustworthiness of God and the promises of His
Word."
So to live by faith daily, you need to check your train and ensure you are acting in the proper order!
When I shared this picture with my husband Mike, he pointed out that
when you attempt to make decisions based solely upon feelings, then you automatically go backwards. Your feelings are a gauge of the thoughts you are meditating on. They are a tool for you, not meant to rule you.
Ensure that you believe God's word above your feelings, either His written Word or spoken Word (which will always agree with His written Word). In that way, you will have emotional
stability and become all that God created you to be!
Be blessed in health, healing, and wholeness,
