Our Emotions Vs God's Emotions

Ok, this is a band blog spot, sure, but it is a CHRISTIAN band's blog, so get yourself ready, 'cuz I'm ready to talk about something.

Our emotions are controlled by many many things, including God, but mostly it seems we control our emotions. They can be effected by what we eat, what we listen to, watch, and of course, our minds. So when we doubt God, based on our emotions, we need to recognize that we don't really know God, all we seam to know is our emotions at the time. That doesn't mean we lost God, or God gave up on us. It just means we looked at circumstances and "gave up" on God.

So, when our emotions tell us to doubt something God has seemed to lead us in, then what we need to do is not focus on our circumstances (like what we ate for breakfast, or much worse), but focus on God.

Now I make absolutely no claims as to being able to do this, at all. I am the worst offender at looking at my circumstances, ones that don't even indicate a difference, or alteration of the good things that God has for us.

Now, we also have to be careful to not get a "high" from our feelings, because, obviously our feelings can mislead us, as pointed out above. That is why He puts things together and leads us. And then is when our down emotions try to wreck it.

I guess this is just something I'm trying to learn, and so I figured I'd share it with you all. It is important to not allow fears to come in to our hearts as we think, because that makes it to where we can't read our Bible and learn anything. Even little worries.

Well, a little more than emotions, but let me get back to that and say that God's emotions DON'T go up and down with ours unless it is sorrow that ours are going up and down.
