my sig

[rizz]

I was lead and inspired to write this after changing my signature over something God is speaking to me about.

In many areas of life, we let our emotions dictate our actions. I know this is almost always the case for me and has led me into places that really arent that great. When i was depressed it lead me to actions that i regret still today and see the results of every day. In the same way i probably have made a lot of decisions and actions inside ToJ that were fuelled by emotion and may have not been the right thing. Thats not to say the decision was a bad one, but it may have not been as God inspired as it could have been.

When i talk to people about worship, sometimes we dont feel like it. Sometimes we arent in the mood to read or pray. We are letting our emotions dictate our actions. In this situation I pledge to myself that i will act and let God alter my emotion. Sing when u feel down and let god lift you. MY sig is a constant reminder to myself of this.

Of course it applies to almost any area of life. In worship, friendship, leadership, love. I need to start letting my actions speak of God not of what i am feeling at the time. When things are hard work or i am feeling down, that is the time God wants me most.

Im not sure why i posted all this but i hope it speaks to somebody.

The LORD is so very good! I was looking up power the other day and saw II Timothy 3: 1-5. Looking at this list of end time happenings, many of those things mentioned are sins that are ran by our emotions. It begins by saying, "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come." Emotions can be dangerous! I think many times, being in a shell of flesh, that is something we fight, rather than, living by the Spirit.

Feelings come and feelings go And feelings are deceiving;
My warrant is the word of God, Naught else is worth believing. ~ Martin Luther

O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer. Psalm 31:23

So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. Galatians 3:9

Thank you Rizz, for your testimony. It truly spoke to my heart and the Spirit used it by reminding me of all these things. I think it is the faithful man who will serve regardless of feelings or circumstances.

The whole time I was reading that I thought you were talking about the stuffed rat and sound waves picture...needless to say I was very confused.
