"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" {Jeremiah 17:9 KJV}
God tells us our own heart is DECEITFUL and desperately WICKED. What comes from the heart? Certainly our desires and emotions. Warning to self, with everlasting life in view, my heart can NOT be trusted.
Of my desires the adversary is well aware.
Trusting in, being guided by my emotions is bait for the serpant to bite.
Instead, I need to take a step back; praying and inquiring of YHWH in his Holy Word.
"Trust in YHWH with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." {Proverbs 3:5 KJV}
"...Thy Word is truth." {John17:17 KVJ}
