No Safety in Mere Feeling
Matthew 14:28-33
And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be you, bid me come to you on the water.…


In the spiritual navigation, it is well to remember that the feelings are the sails, and very quickly and very beautifully do our feelings carry us along while all is favourable. But let once difficulties and temptations come, and if we have only feelings, we shall stop. The best-spread feeling, if it be only feeling, will never make head against a contrary wind.

(J. Vaughan, M. A.)
