Emotion Is Not Wisdom

We all make messes in our lives through ignorance of God's ways. Even when we begin to learn His ways, it still takes a lot of time to see all the negative situations in our lives turned into positive ones.

We can benefit one another greatly by being sensitive to the Holy Spirit's leading to help in various ways. Often He leads us by the Word, by having peace, or by a knowing in our heart. Just being moved emotionally is not being led by the Holy Spirit. Emotion should always be submitted to wisdom! If wisdom agrees, then we can go forward with our plan.

The wise also will hear and increase in learning, and the person of understanding will acquire skill and attain to sound counsel [so that he may be able to steer his course rightly].
--- Proverbs 1:5

My own reflection on this Thought:
* It's OK when we found our first impression of how good God is through our emotion. We felt His mighty hands hugged us with all the love that He got. We felt so much love from Him. Then, things might change when we're growing more mature in our faith. God is not about all the emotion we have for Him.
The emotion might gone, or might change, but God stays the same. Still as loving as He is. We need to get out of the emotions that we have in order to understand that God is more than just a feeling that we have for Him. He's everything for us just because He is God... (-fon-)

You Can Do It!

God asks you and me to put our faith in Him and to believe that we can do whatever He asks us to do. He is mighty to uphold us and to make us stand. He will support us and keep us from falling.

I have strength for all things in Christ who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to do anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency].
--- Philippians 4:13

My own reflection on this Thought:
* When I got a promotion from one department to another in my previous company, I got a feeling that it might be hard for me to cope with that new job. But then out of the blue after several months, I found that the new job has already become a part of me and was not as hard as I thought.
Many times in our life we thought that something's too big for us, or too hard to handle. But, if God has opened His ways, all we have to do is just believe that we can do it as long as He's with us. With His Guidance, it is mission possible

Wishbone or Backbone?

Many people wish things were different in their lives. We need "backbone", not " wishbone."

I know you are enduring patiently and are bearing up for My name's sake, and you have not fainted or become exhausted or grown weary.
--- Revelation 2:3

My own reflection on this Thought:
* Some of us might think that our live would've been better if we had rich parents, if we had more money, if we had been living in another country, ifs and so much ifs, wishing things were different in our life.
Some things can be changed, while some other cannot. It's our duty to accept what God has already given to us, coz He knows the best for us. (-fon-)
