But God…
But God Will Redeem Me
Psalm 49:15, Psalm 49:1-20

I’m beginning to understand more and more that the important things in life are eternal.

We must have an eternal mind set to put things in their proper perspective in the here and now. Psalm 49 expounds on this.

Stuff, does not define who you are. In the end, it only matters who you are in the Lord.

The fools trust what they have in this life. But what about those who have put their trust in God? But God…

All things in this life will pass away, but those in Christ Jesus will reap an eternal reward.

Many will have the praise of men in this life, but do they have the praise of God?

Scripture Text: Genesis 50:20, Genesis 50:15-21

But God…
But God Meant It For Good
Genesis 50:20, Genesis 50:15-21

The fact is, God is involved in every aspect of human activity, and throughout all of human history and throughout all of time.

However, all things are in the hands of God who can turn the bad around into good.

A bad situation, or a undesirable set of circumstances are not always a bad thing when you are in the hands of God.

He understood, as few do, that the events that happened to him, as terrible as they were, that God’s hand had been in it all the time.

If we were hidden from the consequences to sin, we would live in illusionary world, we would have the mistaken impression that we were fine with God and there would be no remorse or repentance.

We all have learned by experience, and some experiences have been painful, but when we look back on it all, we can clearly see the hand of God at work in our lives, building Christian maturity, sensitivity, patience, and hope.

Some of us will suffer precisely because we are a Christian.

For many things, we may not understand this side of Glory, but we know all things rest in His hands, including all of us who truly belong to Him.
