All of us go through everyday life operating in 3 categories:  Thinking, Feeling, and Doing.  Different temperaments function accordingly.  For instance, I am: 

Feeling first, thinking second, doing third

I tend to feel a certain way, and then I usually need to think about it for a period of time before I finally act on something.  

Some people ponder a decision, act upon it, and then feel excited, guilty, proud, dismayed for days, weeks or years because of their decision.  Others may fly off the handle and act, then consider it, and finally suppress their feelings about what they did.  

Because I “feel” first, I think this may have affected my daily walk with Christ.  Simply put, sometimes if I don’t “feel” the Spirit leading me, I never get around to it.  And that’s not what Jesus is calling me to.  He wants me to walk with Him and “think” through it, even if my feelings are not into it that day.  That shows commitment.  Only doing it when I “feel led to” is not commitment – it requires no faith at all.    

I want to encourage all of us – myself primarily – to push through the feelings about our daily walk with Christ.  He never said that it would be easy, that we would feel like we are walking on a cloud all the time.  A tract from Billy Graham I read one time said that the “feelings” of Christianity are like a caboose on a train – it’s fine to have them as long as they don’t control our train like the engine does (the engine is Faith!).  

Allow Jesus to be real with you today.  Not some funny new age visualization, but actually “faithing” Him to walk and talk to you as you go about your life today.  That’s really WWJD – He would accompany you in whatever you are doing.  If you feel good about it, thank Him!  If the feelings are not there, walk in faith anyway.  He will always be with us, and as we use those spiritual “faith muscles” He will strengthen us as we go.  

I’d love to hear about your experiences with Him!  

God bless you!
