BUT those with understanding walk straight ahead (Proverbs 15:21)

Folly is joy to those who lack sense…

BUT those with understanding walk straight ahead.
Proverbs 15:21

BUT whenever he lowered his hands (Exodus 17:9-11)

 Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hands.”So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill.  

As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, 

BUT whenever he lowered his hands,
the Amalekites were winning.
When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset. So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword.

Exodus 17:9-13

This verse reminds me to never do ministry alone. What a beautiful story of how God uses a man to lead a nation BUT also brings along others to support God's plan!  

BUT praise God (1 Peter 4:16)

 However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed,

but praise God that you bear that name.

1 Peter 4:16

When I saw this verse I thought about the pain from when my daughter passed away, God reminded me that as a Christian I can still praise Him even in the darkest times. It's up to us to show the world that He is worthy no matter what we go through.

BUT even the archangel (Jude 1:9)

BUT even the archangel Michael,

when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses,

did not himself dare to condemn him for slander 

BUT said, "The Lord rebuke you!"

Jude 1:9

This verse reminded me that I can not handle the devil on my own. If you find your self constantly battling things in your life. Call on the Lord to remove them He is the only one that can remove these problems and we need to show our love and trust in Him by asking Him.

BUT with God (Matthew 19:26)

Jesus looked at them and said,

“With man this is impossible,

BUT with God all things are possible.”

Matthew 19:26

I am not sure what you are going through today, BUT I know from my own experiences that this verse is true! Pray today and give your troubles to Him and He will show you the possibilities!

BUT is also overflowig (2 Corinthians 9:12)

 This service that you perform is not only

supplying the needs of the Lord’s people

BUT is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.

2 Corinthians 9:12

When we serve others it is an automatic thanks to God. With that in mind go out and intentionally serve someone today.

BUT to give everything (Ephesians 5:1-2)

Watch what God does, and then you do it,

like children who learn proper behavior from their parents.

Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious BUT extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us BUT to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.

 (Ephesians 5:1-2 MSG)
