You Are Not Your Thoughts – Part 1

Have you ever wondered why you get the emotions that you feel every day? Has it ever occurred to you how many emotions and feelings that you can feel each day? How come we can’t just feel happy one day, sad the next, and scared the following? Somehow all of these emotions can be mixed into one day. It’s almost like hearing the voice of God in one ear, and the voice of HaSatan (Satan) in the other at the same time. Perhaps there has been a time when you get frustrated at yourself for the way that you feel towards a certain person or situation. Well, that frustration is a feeling, too. So how do we go through so many emotions at one time, and why must we endure through them?

Let’s propose the same question about our thoughts. Why, on God’s green earth do we, humans, have to go through so many thoughts every single day? If you think about it (pun intended), it may be perhaps because we are human, we tend to second guess ourselves and the decisions we make. We also overthink too much. But here’s another question. Do you think that the thoughts we encounter each day can be our own thoughts? If they are not ours, whose could they be? God’s Word says, “Guard your heart above all else, for it is the source of life.” Proverbs 4:23 Stay tuned so that we can dive deeper into the “thought system”!
