But, GOD!

But, God

These are two words that can literally change lives!  Two simple but powerful words that are based on our entire Christian philosophy.  Believing in God, believing in his miraculous powers to change any bad circumstances. 

The simple word, “But” negates everything that happened before you said the word “But”. 

 “But” followed by “God” is so very powerful.  It represents any negative things in your life that can be changed if you trust and believe in HIM. 

When someone says anything followed by the word "But." They are objecting and contrasting anything that was said before that word. They are using a conjunction to what was already said, as opposed to what was already mentioned.  These two simple words, holds such power and when we keep these words in our hearts and minds, we remind ourselves that God is always in control, and can always change our circumstances for the better.

God can transform difficult circumstances into blessings when we trust Him. Here are several key bible verses that capture this truth:

🌿 Another verse in the bible that depicts God’s turning bad to good is in;

Jeremiah 29:11(NIV)

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Here God is talking to the exiled Jewish people in Babylon who were suffering under captivity. This verse represents the “But God” promise that even though our current circumstances look bleak, we can rest assured that it is all a part of God’s grand plans and offers hope in difficult situations. 

Isaiah 61:3 (NIV)

“...to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.”
Here, God trades sorrow for beauty and mourning for joy. He does not want us to continue to mourn or be sorrowful. Here he provides us with knowledge that we don't have to mourn or be in despair. God does not desire for us to mourn for long. When someone dies that is close to you, here he offers comfort in knowing that the despair and sorrow won’t last long. If we put our trust in HIM, HE will turn our  “ashes into a crown of beauty, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair” means in a metaphorical sense that the ashes upon our heads will turn into a crown of beauty, that he will transform our emotions and feelings from sadness into a sense of calmness.  We can rest in the knowledge that God will wipe every tear away and provide us with comfort in times of despair. 

“But God”, can change our sorrows and griefs into joy and praise.
