We are emotional beings. However, we should not allow negative and destructive feelings to rule our lives. We must walk in the Spirit and let the Word be our guide. We can take authority over our emotions and negative feelings and submit them to God. This allows us to choose to stand on the Word of God and His promises. Life is full of hazards and roadblocks, but God provides protection and faithfulness.
Psalm 102:28 declares the Word of the Lord, "The children of Your servants shall dwell safely and continue, and their descendants shall be established before you." This is a promise that should give us security and peace. But for many, our emotions are too fully connected to our happenings. If the happenings of our circumstances are negative and frustrating, then our emotions go up and down accordingly. However, we must strive to be stable and steadfast. And we must learn to trust in God at all times - good and bad and not be moved by our circumstances.
Life's happenings come and go in an ebb and flow. Do not be tossed to and fro in the winds of life. Be rooted in your faith in God, so He is free to work all things to our good.
