Use “But” to Break the Bad
“For, behold, darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but Yahweh will arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you.” (Isaiah 60:2 WEB)
I love the “but” in the verse above.
Yes, there is thick darkness in the world, BUT it does not cover you.
Instead, God’s glory shines out from you and scatters the surrounding darkness. It is the radiant glory of the Holy Spirit in you, and He is greater than any evil spirit out there in the world.
Things may be bleak in the world, but you must see yourself as sanctified (set apart). You will not fall like them. Only with your eyes will you look, and see the reward of the wicked. A thousand shall fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, BUT it shall not come near you. That’s quoting from Psalm 91.
People may think that you are proud for thinking that you are immune to the bad things that happen to the world. “What makes you think you are so special?”
You are a beloved child of God. You were not accidentally born to God. He purposefully adopted you into His family through the regeneration of the Holy Spirit. He spared not His only begotten Son and delivered Him up so that you would be saved. How can you not be special??
The dark fog of bad news has caused many people to be depressed and distressed. We cannot live by sight, if not our hearts will melt in fear like those who are of the world.
Look through your eyes of faith and see that God’s word has not changed with the times. His good promises towards you remain the same.
You can always stand upon the unshakable foundation of His word, especially in trying times.
Not everything may be good yet in your life, BUT God is working all things together for good. When you’re experiencing bad situations, you can always have confident hope to see His goodness come through for you at the right time.
How can you use “but” to put a positive spin to your situation and break the bad things you see in your life? Comment it below as a declaration of faith. 👍
Here’s one: the people of the world may be getting older, weaker, sicker, BUT I am growing younger, stronger, healthier, and more beautiful because I am a saint (a sanctified one), and I identify myself with Jesus Christ, not anyone else.
