Feelings...
Feelings are so deceitful, it is no wonder I need to have God as my anchor to keep me from "feeling" all over the place. One day I'd be singing praises for an answered prayer, the next I'll be down for one of my kid's infractions. I want to be the kind of follower that believes and trusts that God can do all things. Not just a few, but all. I know that feelings follow behavior, therefore I need to keep on working daily on my salvation; not to be saved, but to keep on growing. I know all this too well, so why do I so often forget to apply it? Because I am trapped in this sinful body now, and I can only dimly see what it awaits me when I receive my glorify body and nothing can separate me from the love of God. Specially myself.

I'm the same way. I guess we are more like those Isrealite goof balls in the dessert than we thought. Everytime I read about them I question how they can be so waffling...then I catch myself...DOH! I wish I was a Caleb or a Joshua...a little more consistent faith.
We are a work in progress. I think that as I am maturing, my feelings dictate less and I am less volatile and all over the map. And, yes, as we discipline ourseleves, our feelings will follow.
Isn't life fun?
