Fear is not tangible – it cannot be touched, but only felt. We cannot and must not base our Christian lives on feelings, as emotions can be fleeting and deceptive. Whoever said to “follow your heart” is so wrong and it goes against what the Bible teaches! Instead, we should seek wisdom and guidance from the Scriptures, which provide us with a firm foundation. When we are afraid of a particular situation, we are feeding our worldly self, not our spiritual self, allowing doubts and anxieties to overshadow our faith. It is essential to remind ourselves of the promises made to us by God. When you stop and think of who you are in Christ, you will see that you are a child of the King of kings and Lord of lords! This identity is both powerful and liberating. He is perfect and loves you so much He died for you, taking upon Himself the sins of the world. He does not want us to worry and be fearful, but instead, He calls us to trust in His unwavering love and provision, wanting us to rise above our fears and walk boldly in His light.

You cannot trust your feelings because they are based on worldly situations, not spiritual ones. Feelings are shaped by external circumstances that fluctuate and change. They may deceive you into believing a certain reality, even when it contrasts sharply with scriptural truth. Instead, it is so important to seek what the Bible says. The spiritual insight will encourage you to look beyond immediate emotions. This perspective allows for a solid foundation to live your life.

Why can’t you trust what your heart tells you? Why does it go against what God teaches us in His Word?

Jeremiah 17:9  The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Proverbs 3:5  Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Galatians 5:17  For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

The Scriptures warn us about “trusting our feelings” because they are based on a sinful nature. Instead, trusting God’s Word will never fail! Whatever worries you are experiencing at the moment, leave it to God. He is the only One capable of not only removing your fear, but the only One who can solve the issues!
