You don't go by feelings, but it's good to feel what you're going on.
Don Hurley
That feeling you get when you know God is near is nice, wonderful evening. Sometimes it is so clear that you're in the presence of the Creator it's almost electric. It's nice to feel what you're going on, but as nice as those feelings are, they are not an indicator to be trusted. God allows those feelings, those sensations, those responses to the Holy Spirit as He wills, but their presence does not always prove we are in His flow, and their absence does not prove the negative. The key, and what we go on is faith, not feeling. "Trust and obey, for there's no other way..." regardless of what we feel. Today let us remember that the warm fuzzies may be nice but they are not necessary. Let us simply determine to believe and act on that belief, knowing He is near because He promised to be there, no matter what we feel.
