“And he felt him, and said the voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.” Because Isaac went by feeling, rather than the spoken word, he was deceived. Feelings are always inferior to faith. They cannot be a part of a Christian’s regular diet. We must never gauge our spiritual life by this type of thermometer.
Feelings are like a roller-coaster; they have their extreme highs and their lowest lows. But faith is a straight, steady road. It may not have the excitement of the former, but it will get you to where you’re going quicker. Crisis feelings of any sort are essentially transitory. Feelings come and go. They never stay for long, “but the word of God abideth forever.” We may choose between the two—the temporal or the perpetual.
The woman with the issue of blood felt she was healed on the spot, but Jesus’ word gave her lasting assurance for the future.
