Today, the truth I build my life on may be getting bullied out by feelings. Feelings are powerful motivators, but they are not necessarily fact. Sometimes, we have to remind our feelings that they will not rule us!

I ask for a lot. 
I think about so many things 
my head spins. 
That God is able to do far more 
than what I think or ask 
blows my mind. 

The definition of abundance 
is “amply supplied”. 
Even though my physical 
needs may be abundantly provided, 
some days I feel emotionally, 
spiritually and 
mentally depleted. 
I can name on my fingers 
the irritating, 
the frustrating, 
the discouraging. 
I feel overlooked, 
overwhelmed, 
under appreciated and unheard. 
I let my feelings dictate my thoughts 
and actions. 

I need to take a step back 
and reconnect to the power 
that is at work within me; 
the power of the 
Holy Spirit. 

Will I let my feelings direct my day 
dragging me into discouragement 
for all the things I can’t see 
solutions for, 
or will I trust 
that God can do much more 
than I ever could have 
imagined?

Today is Pentecost on the Christian calendar. It’s the day we commemorate that Jesus did not leave us alone on earth but sent the Holy Spirit to guide, comfort, teach, convict, and intercede for believers.

It is because of the work of the Holy Spirit within the believer that we have the power and will to live for Christ. Am I plugged into the Source, or do I deny its power to change me and produce fruit accordingly?
