Trust faith not facts and feelings: A personal take away.
In part one of our sermon series, Meds, Pastor Chilly mentioned this as one of his points, trust faith, not facts and feelings. We need to trust God and not the situation, not how we feel, and not what other people are saying. Philippians 4:6-7 says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Man, is that good or what?!
All of that time wasted on “stress”. God wants us to pray about everything! He wants it. Normally we waste time trusting in ourselves, in others, and feelings. Absolutely nothing will give us peace but God.
Yess!!! I came to that same conclusion not too long ago. I stressed myself out sometimes to the point where I'd forget to eat, always anxious about how things would turn out. I came across that scripture and Romans 8:28 which says, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." I said all of that to say that as the older generation may say, "Don't spend your time trying to figure it out when God's already got it worked out."
