Seed for Mar 4

Our relationship to the Lord is not based upon our feelings, but on the faithfulness of Him to His own Word. You can change the way a man feels, by giving him bad or good news, or by something he eats or if he doesn't eat. A man feels different if he is sick or well, if he is tired or refreshed. So how can we make statements like "I don't feel near the Lord, or I don't feel saved or forgiven?" Not one verse in the Bible says our relationship with the Lord is based upon how we feel, but upon our faith in His Word. Even if I don't feel near the Lord, I know He will never leave nor forsake me. Even if I don't feel encouraged, I know that He is my Rock that strengthens me. Keeping our eyes of faith upon His Word and His promises will cause us to walk on the waters of life (those things that would sink us)!

There were three walking on a fence, Fact, Faith, and Feeling. As long as Faith kept his eyes upon Fact, Feeling followed along behind. But as soon as Faith took his eyes off Fact and turned around to see how Feeling was doing, he fell off the fence. Keep you eyes upon the “fact” of God’s Word and your feelings will follow. Put your eyes upon your feeling and you will fall.

Be Blessed,Billy and Jan
