There are times, however, when 73 degrees does not feel like 73 degrees. Sometimes, it feels cold. I check the thermostat and sure enough... it's 73 degrees. Other times, it feels warm... and what do you know, the temperature is 73 degrees.
Some could say that it's just me, but usually, my wife and I agree that it either feels too hot or too cold. The temperature is right, but our perception of the temperature is different.
Christianity is the same way. Sometimes, we feel really close to God, other times we don't feel close to Him at all. Even in society, if you look at American history, there were times when we as a nation embraced God's laws, and not, it seems like society doesn't feel like the laws of God apply.
The thing that we need to remember as Christians is that God doesn't change.
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. 9 Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them. - Hebrews 13:8-9
Let us struggle to not be led away by how others "feel" about God at the moment. God doesn't change. Let us embrace the word of God in all its truth.
