We can easily begin following emotions such as fear, anger, and guilt. Following the Spirit is biblical.

Matt 6:33 seeking God first;
Following spirit and not emotions;
Fear, anger, and guilt should not motivate us;
Casting down vain imaginations 2 Cor 10:3-5;
Devil works in emotions and rationale;
Bring our thoughts under the Word;
Gen 4:7 emotion rose up and caused murder;
James 4:7 submit to God;
Root of bitterness Hebrews 12:14;
The Spirit rules over even hunger;
Dwelling on the thought causes us to act upon it;
Isaiah 26:3 keeping our mind on the Word;
Joshua 1:8 speaking and meditating on God for success;
Matt 4 and Luke 4 Spirit wielding Sword;
Moving away from hell vs toward God;
Seek God diligently Hebrews 11:6;
Martha did good stuff, Mary did what was needful;
