Trust Over Feelings

“If you begin to live by your own feelings, you will always be unsettled.” — Charles Spurgeon

Proverbs 3:5–6 gives explicit instruction on the matter of trusting our feelings:

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.” (NASB)

In other words, we should:

(1) Put our full confidence in God at the very core of our being—this includes our feelings.

(2) Avoid relying on our own flawed understanding.

(3) Seek to know God in all our ways so that our life’s path will be made straight, rather than crooked or twisted, as it becomes when we place confidence in the feelings of our deceitful hearts.

Seeking after God with our whole heart brings blessing:

“Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart—they do no wrong but follow his ways.” — Psalm 119:2–3
