BUT wth counselors they succeed (Proverbs 15:22)

Plans fail with no counsel
BUT

with many counselors they succeed.

 Proverbs 15:22

Are you struggling with a decision today. God's word is clear seek counsel.
 First talk to God and have Him show you who else will lead you in the right direction.

 

BUT... Christ was indeed raised from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:20)

BUT the fact is that Christ has been raised from the dead.

He has become the first of a great harvest of those who will be raised to life again

1 Corinthians 15:20

AMEN I love how God's word states the facts!

BUT... If we walk in the light (1 John 1:7)

If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness,

 we lie and do not live out the truth.

BUT

If we walk in the light, as He is the light, we have fellowship with one another,

and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

1 John 1:7

Ask yourself today if you enjoy your time with God. Not just your prayer time but just the thought that He is with you where ever you go. At the same time do you find your self negative? Then you may not be walking in His light. This verse reminds us to have fellowship with one another.

BUT because you want to please God (1 Peter 5:1-3)

 I have a special concern for you church leaders.

 I know what it’s like to be a leader,

 in on Christ’s sufferings as well as the coming glory. 

Here’s my concern: 

that you care for God’s flock with all the diligence of a shepherd. 

Not because you have to, 

BUT because you want to please God. 

Not calculating what you can get out of it, 

BUT acting spontaneously. 

Not bossily telling others what to do, 

BUT tenderly showing them the way.

1 Peter 5:1-3

This is dedicated to amazing group of leaders I have been blessed by. A triple BUT gotta love it! This is an awesome prayer of support for all of our leaders. 

BUT... against rulers...(Ephesians 6:12)

 We aren’t fighting against human enemies 

BUT

against rulers, authorities, forces of cosmic darkness, and spiritual powers of evil in the heavens. 

(Ephesians 6:12 CEB)
