Title : The wrong feelings can harm us.

-

"Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 1 Peter 5:7"
Devotion : Sometimes, due to the challenges the children of God go through, there is the feeling that nobody cares, not even God. Above is a specific example of scripture proving that God cares as He said we should walk by faith and not by feeling. Feeling can be positive or negative; the devil uses negative feelings against us so we might doubt God's Word. Continue to trust in Christ Jesus that He is able to save you and provide for your daily needs. 
   The following points explain the verse further.
1. God's Unchanging Care: The scripture 1 Peter 5:7 emphasizes casting all our anxieties on God because He cares for us. This underscores that God's concern for us remains constant, regardless of our circumstances or feelings.

2. Walking by Faith, Not by Sight: The devotion stresses the importance of living by faith rather than being swayed by our feelings. Our emotions can be deceptive and lead us to doubt God's promises. Faith, on the other hand, anchors us in the truth of God's Word.

3. Resisting Negative Feelings: Negative feelings can be tools that the devil uses to make us doubt God's love and promises. By recognizing this, we can be vigilant and choose to trust in God's faithfulness instead. David resisted negative feelings when Saul was after his life. Joseph when forgave his brothers, Job 1:21, when he lost everything. When you lose a loved one you think of Jesus preparing a home for us in eternity. Do not let negative feelings overcome you. Keep your faith in Jesus.

4. Trust in Christ for Provision: The devotion encourages believers to continue trusting in Christ Jesus, believing that He is capable of meeting our daily needs and delivering us from our troubles. Philippians 4:19. 

This reflection is a reminder to place our trust in the unchanging character of God, rather than our ever-changing emotions. It encourages a faith that is rooted in the promises of scripture, rather than in the transient nature of our feelings.

How do you connect with this message personally? Do you find that your faith helps you overcome negative feelings?

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
