Our feelings are indicators of where our heart is. Mark 7:15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
When someone is so quick to act on their emotions or feelings it’s usually an indication of what that person has been feeding into their spirit. Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: So reading this we see that it is understandable to get angry sometimes. But the Bible tells us to sin not. “To sin not” means to not allow our feelings to dictate and justify our actions.
We love to use the excuse that the devil made me do it. As in to say the reason why you’re angry is the other person’s fault and that you acted out as a result of that. So that somehow vindicates you of any wrong doing. But actually we are giving the devil way to much credit. Actually the person at fault is you. Just like what you feed your flesh could result in a tummy ache. So it is with your spirit, that result of feeding it something that doesn't agree with the Word of God will result in a contrary act on your part of God’s character.
Grab and go: Truth be told that some days I don’t feel like going to work. But I know that if I give into those feelings and call out. Then that would result in negative consequences. Not only would I suffer but my family. So again don’t let your feelings dictate your actions.
