Yeah, I said it.</p><p>We’ve built a culture that worships emotion over obedience. We chase “what feels right” instead of asking, “What’s true?”</p><p><br></p><p>My HOT TAKE? We’ve started worshipping our feelings more than we worship God. When culture screams “follow your heart,” Jesus whispers, “follow Me.”</p><p><br></p><p>Now don’t get it twisted, God gave us emotions for a reason. But there’s a massive difference between worldly pleasure and heavenly joy. One fades fast. The other leads you home.</p><p><br></p><p>Worldly pleasure feeds your flesh.&nbsp;</p><p>Heavenly joy feeds your faith.</p><p><br></p><p>Pleasure gives you a hit of happiness. Joy gives you direction, peace, and eternal fulfillment.</p><p><br></p><p>Your feelings will lie to you:</p><p>“I’m alone.”</p><p>“I’m not enough.”</p><p>“This is impossible.”</p><p><br></p><p>And Truth?</p><p>“I will never leave you or forsake you.”</p><p>“My grace is sufficient for you.”</p><p>“With God, all things are possible.”</p><p><br></p><p>Feelings change by the hour.</p><p>Truth stands forever.</p><p><br></p><p>We’re diving deep into these verses:</p><ul><li>Jeremiah 17:9 — The heart can deceive.</li><li>Proverbs 14:12 — What seems right can still destroy you.</li><li>Philippians 4:6–7 — Peace comes from prayer, not panic.</li><li>Ephesians 4:14 — Truth doesn’t toss you around, it anchors you.&nbsp;</li></ul><p>So stop following what feels right. Start following Who is right.</p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Sierra Bookman"}
