This is How to Feel Different

We see what the Bible says we should do, but we often don’t do it until we feel like it. While we may use reason to steer the car, the gas that’s running the engine is emotion. This is why we must discipline our feelings, not by grinning or gritting our teeth and bearing it, but by changing how we feel about things. This passage of scripture gives us a framework for doing that.

5a – repent to God (destroying idols)

5b – renew your mind (developing values)

6 – rejoice in the Lord (discovering victory)
