Emotions can be like a three year old that wants candy, but has a sinking feeling their mom and dad want them to finish their veggies. There can be euphoric highs and depths of despair. Some of us are taught how to manage and regulate our feelings and others of us are left to tackle that jungle solo.
In this 90 day devotional, Joyce Meyer gives short daily snippets about how we can manage our emotions and how God can help us with that. Some things I agree with and others not so much. At one point Joyce talks about sin, but then in the same paragraph refers to it as a mistake. In my opinion those are two separate actions. Calling sin a mistake to me waters down the seriousness. Another thing is it seemed like a lot of the book centered on God blessing us, or what blessing we can get from God. Not that God doesn’t want the best for us, but our God isn’t a blessing vending machine. One good thing I think Joyce shared about is how our home environment growing up helps shape how we handle our emotions as adults. Overall I have mixed feelings on this devotional.
I received my copy of Managing Your Emotions by Joyce Meyer from Faith Words in exchange for my honest feedback. The views expressed are mine and of my own will. I would read this devotional with caution.
