Feelings aren’t Facts

Psalms 138:2

“I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.”

Don’t take counsel with your emotions as to whether or not a promise of God is true.

Feelings aren’t facts.

Discouragement isn’t leadership.

God doesn’t make promises for the same reasons we do. We make promises because our word has been faulty before. We’ve failed.

We’ve broken our word.

He makes promises to confirm his inherency.

He makes promises because he exalts his word above his own name.

Your feelings don’t change his promises.

If you feel alone, that doesn’t mean he’s failed to keep his word of “I’ll never leave you nor forsake you.”

If you feel broken, that doesn’t mean that he has failed to keep his word of “surely he hath borne out griefs and carried our sorrows.”

If you feel weary, that doesn’t mean he has failed to keep his promises of “come, all ye that are heavy laden and I will give you rest.”

Your feelings don’t change the facts.

And the facts are that his word is true.

Just because you haven’t felt like his promises were true, while you were focused on your problem, doesn’t change the fact that his promises are TRUE.

Feelings don’t change the facts, no matter how loud they scream. Facts, truth will always reign supreme.
