But God!
Those two words resounded afresh at Bible Study this past Wednesday! Sometimes that’s all we can say. A search through Scriptures will uncover many “But God” moments. “But God remembered Noah.” During chaos and wickedness, God called Noah to build an ark. When Jacob was mistreated by his uncle Laban, God “stepped in” and would not allow Laban to do Jacob any harm. Finally, we know that story of Joseph very well. His brothers “meant it for evil, ‘But God’ meant it for the good.”
But we can’t overlook a couple other “But God” moments. Romans 5:8 states, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” The Apostle Peter adds, “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.” Through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we can be freed from the power of sin and receive eternal life. Thanks be to God!
Take some time to remember your “But God “moments! Then give God some praise for what He has done!
