Tell me. Which end of the teeter-totter do you sit on?
Some of us are content with the pure emotion of loving and experiencing the love of our One and Only Lord. We love being enveloped in His embrace...His presence in the midst of a worship service...and being overwhelmed in His indescribable joy. Others of us...well if it can’t be tested, tried, and found true by the Scriptures...you are outta here, baby! Too much emotion...well...you are in the flesh...and that is from the pit.
All I’m sayin’ is...We have to sit on the fulcrum.
“For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.” 2 Timothy 1:12
Let’s sit dead in the center with Paul. A student of God’s Word, he knew it backward and forward; upside-down and right-side up. He was overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit. Paul experienced the love of God shed lavishly in his heart. He couldn’t have suffered for the gospel with such abandon if he hadn’t known the Savior...oh...so...personally. And yet...the power of God’s Word trumped his emotions when circumstances...were out of control.
Are you a student? Are you a lover? With Jesus...we gotta be both.
