Julie Ackerman Link gives us something to keep in mind about God's involvement in our lives...
"Howard Sugden, my pastor when I was in college, preached many memorable sermons.
After all these years, the one title 'But God...' still makes me stop whenever I come to those words in the Bible.
Here are a few examples of verses that encourage me with the reminder of God's righteous intervention in human affairs:
"You meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to...save many people alive" Gen. 50:20.
"Their beauty shall be consumed in the grave...But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave" (s. 49:14-15.
"My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever" Ps. 73:26.
"For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" Rom. 5:7-8.
"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard...the things which God has prepared for those who love Him. But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit" 1 Cor. 2:9-10.
Whenever you feel discouraged, look up some "but God" verses and be reassured of God's involvement in the lives of those who love Him. —Julie Ackerman Link

How can it be that You're involved
With such a one as me? —Sper
God's involvement in our lives
should reassure us of His love."

"An incorrect view of God keeps us from getting to know Him.
To relate correctly to God, we have to know Him correctly.
If you think God's not trustworthy, you'll not trust Him.
Ps. 24 declares the majesty of the LORD."

Today’s treasure truth #28: If you are “born again”, you are establishing God's Word here on earth. (Matt. 16:19)
Our thought for today: Call on Jesus' name! Don't let Satan defeat you!
