Reactions, is God’s word in Our Hearts?

There are times we react often with a judgmental reaction and comments.  We want issues to belong to the other party and not ourselves.

Often those reactions are emotional reactions.  And to carry it further, emotions often reflect judgments.  Good issues bring good pleasant emotions.  Bad issues bring reactionary judgment.  Both men and women reaction in one way or another. 

Reactions founded on God’s principles of helping someone are not against His will and word.  Those not based on God’s word may lead us away from God.   That leads to the question: ‘What should we do?

We need to get to know God’s word and pray, asking God to be involved with us daily.  Consider this prayer:  ‘Father help me to study your word and hide it in my heart that my reaction to issues would be from the word.  In Jesus’ Name, Amen. (see Ps 119:11)

Reflections:

Why are reactions often emotional reactions?  What do emotional reactions that tell us about our ‘Self’ nature?

How does God react?  --perhaps our answer might be from what we sere taught about God.  –Take a moment and reflect on I John 4: 8 and reflect on how emotions motivated by love react, vs our ‘Self’ Nature. 

Here is something to meditate on:  To know God’s Love is strong motivation to study His word.
