But God

Read: Romans 5:8-11
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were
still sinners, Christ died for us. —Romans 5:8
Bible in a Year:
Isaiah 16-18
Howard Sugden, my pastor when I was in college, preached many
memorable sermons. After all these years, the one titled “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” (Ps. 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.
Creator of the universe
Who reigns in awesome majesty:
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.
