BUT in the third year sow and reap (2 Kings 19:29)

“This will be the sign for you, Hezekiah:

“This year you will eat what grows by itself,

and the second year what springs from that.

BUT in the third year sow and reap,

plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

2 Kings 19:29

I truly believe in sowing and reaping. What are you sowing today that is going to bring you peace and joy over the next few years. I can't help BUT remind us all to sow love into your spouse. It won't be long until the kids will be gone and you will only have each other.

BUT we do see Jesus (Hebrews 2:9)

BUT we do see Jesus,

who was made lower than the angels for a little while,

now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death,

so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.

Hebrews 2:9

I consider my self a giving person- a people pleaser some would say. BUT I can truthfully say that there is no way I would be willing to suffer the death Jesus suffered. He did it willingly for each and everyone of us that believe.

BUT a woman (Proverbs 31:31)

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;

BUT a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

Proverbs 31:31

What does it mean to you to "fear" the Lord?

 My fear is knowing that He knows me completely... every thought, every motive, and every action.

BUT He still loves me.

BUT this man has done nothing wrong. (Luke 23:39-42)

 One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at Him:

“Aren’t you the Messiah? Save Yourself and us!”

 BUT the other criminal rebuked him.

“Don’t you fear God,” he said,

“since you are under the same sentence?

We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve.

BUT this man has done nothing wrong.”

 Then he said,

“Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.

Luke 23:39-42

This Verse reminds me often of the 2 voices in my head. I will listen to the voice of truth today.

What voice will you be to others?

BUT as wise (Ephesians 5:15-17)

Be very careful, then, how you live—

not as unwise BUT as wise,

making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish,

BUT understand what the Lord’s will is.

Ephesians 5:15-17

What is the Lord's will for you? If that over whelms you, relax and just think about how much He loves you and live that out today.

BUT God raised Him (Acts 2:24)

BUT God raised Him from the dead,

 freeing Him from the agony of death,

because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on Him.

Acts 2:24

This makes me smile! no matter what you are going through today or how you feel.

God's got your back. Jesus is alive-

The word of God is true-turn  your worries over to Him.

BUT the flesh is weak (Matthew 26:41)

“Watch and pray 

so that you will not fall into temptation. 

The spirit is willing, 

BUT the flesh is weak.”

Matthew 26:41

Jesus asked his disciplines to watch and pray for Him because He knew it was close to time for Him to go to the cross.

 Each time He checked on them they were asleep.

 He didn't get all mad at them He just understood how weak we are. 

Jesus' love is beyond comprehension.
