Have you ever found yourself wondering where God is in the midst of your struggles? That disconnect between what we feel and what we know to be true creates some of the most challenging moments in our spiritual journey.
Today we're tackling the profound tension between our emotional experiences and God's unchanging Word. When circumstances seem to contradict what Scripture promises, we face a critical decision: will we trust our feelings or stand on divine truth? As we explore John 4:24, we discover that genuine worship happens "in spirit and in truth" - not just when our emotions align with our faith.
God has promised never to leave or forsake us, yet we don't always feel His presence. The secret to developing unshakable peace isn't found in perfect circumstances but in consistently anchoring ourselves to Scripture. When we commit to "keep putting the Word in, no matter what," something remarkable happens. The challenges that once devastated us lose their power, and we develop what Colossians 3:15 calls "the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him."
This spiritual stability becomes our greatest testimony. When others witness our inexplicable peace amid chaos, they inevitably ask how we maintain such composure - creating natural opportunities to share the gospel. The blessed assurance we seek doesn't come from emotional highs but from the solid foundation of God's promises. His Word stands eternal, "forever settled in heaven," while our feelings come and go.
Join us in discovering how to worship in spirit and truth, finding refuge under the wings of our heavenly Father when life's storms rage. Subscribe to Mornings with Jesus for daily encouragement that will help you build an unshakable faith beyond feelings.
