"Orr emotions are a window into what our hearts really love. The rise and fall of your feelings function as a barometer to what you truly value and want out of life. Your joy, sadness, fear, anger, happiness, despondency, contentment, discouragement, rejoicing, and inner grumbling can point you to what is ruling your heart at street level." ~Paul David Trip, "Journey to the Cross"
The above quote stopped me in my tracks as I pondered where I find my joy. Certainly, I love picking fresh bouquets from our yard and sharing them with people in my community. I find one of the best ways to determine where my idols are hiding is to look for the things that promote my "inner grumbling". Oh, there are so many. They are the things where I'm tempted to find comfort and security and peace instead of letting my Sovereign God handle the details.
