Psalms 42:11 TPT
[11] So I say to my soul, “Don’t be discouraged. Don’t be disturbed. For I know my God will break through for me.” Then I’ll have plenty of reasons to praise him all over again. Yes, he is my saving grace!

Have you ever felt the summer fever? This is a feeling of so much excitement and overwhelming emotions for the things that we will do.

This summer, many of us went on vacation. It’s nice to have a vacation, for it is a time for us to meet our friends, family, or the love of our lives. It is also a time when we can refresh, renew, reunite, and recover.

However, on the other hand, I observed that we lost our track with God.We pause, stop, and get distracted.

A lot of emotions and expectations are within us, especially during and after our vacation. I don’t generalize, but there are some things that I just observe.

Emotions are a gift from God, for they can express what we feel, but to be drawn to them is the most dangerous thing. For they can lead us down a road that we should not go or can lead us closer to God.

Will you choose to be in a “SUMMER,” a time to be warmer and closer to God, or will you choose to be in a “FEVER,” a feeling that makes you feel warm yet sick? YOUR CHOICE MATTERS.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, we thank You for being the God of Love. Thank You for loving us and giving us the emotions to express what we feel. But then, help us not to be drawn to our emotions but to control them in times when we are overwhelmed. Forgive us for the times when we choose our own way and don’t listen to You. God, we want to surrender and give You all our praises. In Jesus’ name, I pray. AMEN!
