Fickle Feelings
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." (Galatians 5:22-23)
Our feelings can be fickle things. One moment we feel energetic and happy, the next irritable and tired. But as Christians, we know we cannot allow our feelings to rule our actions. God calls us to live by faith and the Spirit, not by our fleeting emotions.
When we feel exhausted, we can still choose to exercise discipline and take care of our body. When a family member rubs us the wrong way, we can still respond in love and patience. When work seems too hard, we can pray for strength and perseverance to finish the task.
The fruit of the Spirit - love, joy, peace, patience - is not based on emotions but rather developed through daily dependence on God. As we walk by faith, abiding in Christ, we receive supernatural power to overcome negative feelings and live out godly actions. Our feelings may suggest one thing, but we can choose to do what is right regardless.
The next time you feel too tired, irritated, or overwhelmed, remember - you have the power to act with the fruit of the Spirit despite your feelings. Let your actions be ruled by faith in God, not the emotions of the moment. The victory is found in persevering through hardship, not in giving in to troublesome feelings. By God's strength, keep pressing on!
