We don’t typically use the word mood to define spiritual commitment, but when our decision to is based on how we feel at that moment, it is a fair qualification. Mood is a temporary state of mind we can go in and out of, often determined by what’s happening in front of us (which limits us because we cannot know and see what God does, 1 Corinthians 2:11) and requires trusting ourselves (which is foolish, according to Proverbs 28:26). If we are offended by the thought that mood could be determining the depth of our spiritual life, maybe it is because it feels painfully true.
