Don't Depend on Emotions


 Do the work before you, and do not depend on your emotions as a gauge for “how things really are.”  

The word "emotion" is not used in the Bible* because you are to depend on what you know to be true and act accordingly.  If you are in a situation not to your liking, it is because the Lord has placed you there.  If you have been hurt, God knows of your pain and has made provision for you.  Look for His provision and keep your eyes off the injustices you've suffered; these things are God's business and not yours. 

Scripture:  "What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?...Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up" (James 4:1,10).

*NIV
