[[-SOAP HUB]] [[Genesis 27]] ## Title: Trust the Word Over the Feeling ## Scripture: (Genesis 27:22) So Jacob went over to his father Isaac, who felt him and said, “The voice is Jacob’s, but the hands are Esau’s.” (NET) ## Observation: When it comes to knowing God, it is important to realize that God’s Word is central to knowing Him. This must be stated because it is easy to become addicted to good feelings and ignore the truth of God’s Word. There are many reasons why this happens, and it is important to remember that emotions are not bad. However, they make terrible leaders. Therefore, we enjoy emotions, but live by God’s Word. If not, we can fall into the same trap as Isaac. He thought he was doing a good thing only to find out that he damaged himself and the next generation. ## Application: Be sure to have proper boundaries between your emotions and the truth you live by. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for teaching us how to live by the Truth of Your Word. That Truth brings life, peace, and a lasting joy.
