Faith, Not Feelings, Pleases
God<http://rdstrongmail1.com/track?type=click&mailingid=206500&messageid=44100&databaseid=67001&serial=1222909985&[email protected]&userid=80053&extra=keycode=&promokey=EPD00563&execution_nbr=21&&&2002&&&http://www.purposedriven.com/article.do?method=articlePage&contentId=201639&trkid=ddnews>
by Rick Warren
“Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave
and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised” (Job 1:21
NIV).
When you are a baby Christian, God gives you a lot of confirming emotions
and often answers the most immature, self-centered prayers—so you’ll know He
exists. But as you grow in faith, He will wean you of these dependencies.
God’s omnipresence and the manifestation of His presence are two different
things. One is a fact; the other is often a feeling. God is always present,
even when you are unaware of Him, and His presence is too profound to be
measured by mere emotion.
Yes, He wants you to sense His presence, but He’s more concerned that you
trust Him than that you feel Him. Faith, not feelings, pleases God.
The situations that will stretch your faith most will be those times when
life falls apart and God is nowhere to be found. This happened to Job. On a
single day he lost everything: his family, his business, his health, and
everything he owned. Most discouraging—for thirty-seven chapters, God said
nothing!
