TODAY’S WORD
God created us as emotional beings. At times, we may feel joy, excitement, or passion. At other times, we may feel sadness, sorrow, or discouragement. Feelings come to us all, but feelings are not facts. You wake up in the morning feeling gloomy, but then you get a cup of coffee and feel great. Feelings can change on a dime.
The mistake we make is to let feelings determine our mood. We feel the blahs, then go around discouraged. We feel offended by someone and go around upset. We have a bad break and feel self-pity, then wonder why we don’t enjoy life. It’s because we’re being ruled by our feelings.
You can’t stop negative feelings from coming, but you have a choice to not let those feelings dictate your mood. You can rule over those feelings and decide what kind of mood you’re going to be in. You can choose to say, “Feelings, you are not my boss. You are not going to control my life.” Get your mind filled with the right thoughts, and the feelings will eventually follow your thoughts.
PRAYER OF THE DAY
“Father, thank You that I have the power to remain full of joy and stay in peace when circumstances and people try to take them from me. Thank You that You made this day, and I’m not going to live sour and defeated. I’ve made up my mind I’m going to rule over my moods. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
