Proverbs 14: Doing What Feels Right

I hear this phrase all the time: “I am just going to do what feels right.” This is a statement that sounds good, until you look at it closer. Is how you feel the best indicator of whether something is right or wrong?

Often our feelings are very wrong.

Verse 12 says: “There is a way that seems right unto a man, but its end is the way of death.”

Our feelings are not a good indicator of what is right or wrong. The Bible is the indicator of what is right and wrong.

We need to recognize that if our feelings and the Bible contradict, we need to follow the Bible.

So next time you think to yourself, "I am going to do what feels right," make sure, instead, that you are doing what is right according to God's Word.
