BUT... those who walk (Proverbs 28:26)

Those who trust in themselves are fools,

BUT those who walk in wisdom are kept safe.

Proverbs 28:26

Sometimes commentary is not necessary.

BUT... I will not always be angry (Isaiah 57)

I was enraged by your willful sins BUT I will not always be angry. Although I have seen your ways I will heal you, guide you, and restore comfort to you.

 

Isaiah 57

Are you involved in something today that you know you ought not be?                                                                              Take the first step and admit it. God will take care of the rest. 

 

 

 

 

BUT... aggravation from a fool (Proverbs 27:3)

A stone is heavy and sand, a burden,

BUT aggravation from a fool outweighs them both.

Proverbs 27:3

 It is summer time and as much as we all love the beach and the sand it can be aggravating.
It gets places it never should be. God compares this to a fool, don't get weighed down today by foolish people. 

BUT... when the desire is fulfilled (Proverbs 13:12)

Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
BUT when the desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.

Proverbs 13:12

Have you been hoping or desiring for something for a long time? I know the wait seems unbearable BUT know that if this is part of God’s plan He has a purpose in the waiting and when this desire is fulfilled oh it won’t be just a quick satisfaction BUT a Joy that blossoms for a life time. 

BUT... also for the interest of others (Phillipians 2:3-6)

Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, 

BUT... with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourself, do not look out for you own personal interest, 

BUT... also for the interest of others. 

Philippians 2:3-6

Back to Back BUTS. This is very hard in today's culture where we are taught we have rights, if we don't take care of our selves no one else will. Well I challenge us to go against the grain and put others interest first and see what happens. 

BUT... also with those who have a broken heart (Isaiah 57)

Sure, I live in a high and holy place, 

BUT... also with those who have a broken heart
to revive their spirit. 

Isaiah 57

It is so awesome to realize that even though God lives in a high and holy place He also lives with us. So no matter what you are going through hold onto this promise that God is with you and He will revive your spirit. 

BUT... the wicked stumble (Proverbs 24:16)

For though the righteous fall seven times,
they rise again,

BUT...the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.

Proverbs 24:16  (NIV)

 If you are going through hard times . RISE UP. Don't worry about the wicked around you
God will take care of them.
It is not our place to judge or condemn them take that energy and Rise up to your best.
