Emotions (Proverbs 14:29-30, 15:15, 16:32, 17:22, 19:11, 28:1, 29:22)

Wisdom requires that we steward our emotions well, by recognizing our emotions are real but refusing to let our emotions rule.

Emotions can be a great navigator but they are almost always a terrible driver.

F - feel your feelings (it is not healthy to ignore or suppress them)

E - engage your feelings (question them - what? why? how? who?)

E - express your feelings appropriately (to the Lord, to yourself, to others)

L - listen to the Word and the Spirit (emotions can show you where you are and how you got there, but let the Lord drive your life, by listening to his Word and the Holy Spirit)

S - submit your feelings to Christ (we tend to live in our own private emotional world, but if Jesus is Lord of our lives, he is Lord of our emotions as well - we need to invite and submit)
