Word for Today...........BUT!!!!!
Scripture: We are troubled on every side, yet not distress; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed. II Cor 4:8-9
BUT…
The word “but or yet” means on the contrary. It is an adverb that when used in a sentence cancels the proceeding idea. The apostle Paul had many difficulties and hardships that he faced during his life. There were times that if he had looked thru his natural eyesight, he would have been discourage or walked away from God altogether. The bible says that we can’t help that offenses come, BUT… Let’s deal with the BUT of every bad thing in our lives.
We have to be encouraged in what we are doing for God because even though we have trouble, we may become perplexed and we certainly will be persecuted. We have to be reminded that there is a “BUT” in the middle of our situations. God always provides a way of escape for us. The word “but” changes the course of the situation, so no matter the trouble, we ARE NOT distressed. No matter the perplexity, we ARE NOT in despair. No matter the persecution, we are not forsaken. We may be cast down, BUT we ARE NOT destroyed. The bible declares that the devil comes to steal, kill and to destroy us, but Jesus said that He came that we might have life and life more abundantly. So the devil may come to take our life, but there is STILL no weapon that is formed against us that God will allow to prosper. We have life in Christ Jesus. So the devil can try all he wants, God has provided a BUT in my problems and my circumstances.
Have A Blessed Day!
