What is more important to God? Feelings or Truth? The truth of course. Feelings distract us from God.
John 14:6-7
6 Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.
Those who seek their truth from news sources rather than praying for God to show them are trusting in leaders rather than Christ.
Psalm 20:6-7 "…6 Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand. 7 Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God."
Psalm 146:3-7
"3 Do not trust in noblemen,
In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.
4 His spirit departs, he returns to the earth;
On that very day his plans perish.
5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
Whose hope is in the Lord his God,"
To recap; we must trust only in Christ, never in a man, never in a government, and never in our "freedom." If we trust in these things and they are taken from us, we have nothing left. But with Christ even if all these things are taken from us we still have peace, joy, and Spiritual and emotional protection no matter what happens.
It is not hard to see those who have placed their trust in things other than Christ, their peace and joy is removed because it was based on this world and not on Christ.
John 14:27
"27 Peace I leave you, My peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, nor fearful."
Our peace is not of this world or based on the events of this world, it is inner Spiritual peace that takes us through everything no matter how difficult.
