Matthew 11:29 (NKJV) 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Sometimes our minds are our worst enemy. We think about things that might happen and then our thoughts run away from us. And this causes us to worry about things that we have no control over.
Sometimes we can get caught up in our emotions. It’s easy to do. Unfortunately, that’s the worst thing we can do.
God created us to have emotions! It’s part of His design. But He doesn’t want us to let our emotions control us. And He doesn’t want us to live based on our emotions. If we do live that way, our lives will be like a rollercoaster, up one day and down the next, based on how we feel.
God wants us to learn to rely 100% on Him for everything we need each and every day. It takes time for us to learn this. It’s a lifelong learning process!
Matthew 4:4 (NKJV) 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”
That’s why it’s critical that we spend time in His word. Because as it gets into us, we learn to rely on it and pull it up from within our spirit when we need it.
The Holy Spirit is faithful to remind us of the things we have studied and learned from His word, so it’s important that we know the Word and let it become a part of who we are.
Take one day at a time. Spend time in His word. Let it become a part of who we are. And as we grow and learn to depend on Him, our emotions will no longer control our lives.
