I Have been a bit depleted since Wednesday’s five hour infusion, accompanied by some pain… bed to chair which is a few feet away… then back to bed…is my daily routine. Not much energy. Difficulty to walk. Use walker to help me.

“BUT GOD…” is,,,

ALWAYS in CONTROL.. 

  • “Behold, to the Lord your God belong heaven and the highest heavens, the earth and all that is in it.”-{Deuteronomy 10:14}
  • “…for all the earth is Mine;”-{Exodus 19:5}
  • ” Whatever the Lord pleases, He does, In heaven and on earth, in the seas and in all the ocean depths. “- (Psalm 135:6).
  • The earth is the Lord’s, and all it contains, The world, and those who live in it.  For He has founded it upon the seas And established it upon the rivers.”-{Psalm 24:1-2}
  • He changes times and seasons; He deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.”-{Daniel 2:21}.
  • “And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written: “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”-{Revelation 19:16}

ALWAYS WORKING

  •  “…God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose…”-(Rom 8:28}
  • “…being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. ” -{Philippians 1:6}.
  • “For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him.”-{Philippians 2:13 NLT}

ALWAYS PRESENT… irrespective of how you or I feel-

  • “The Lord looks down from heaven and sees the whole human race.”-{Psalm 33:13 nlt}
  • Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever abandon you,” so that we confidently say, The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraidWhat will man do to me?”- (Read Hebrews 13:5;
  • “…behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”-{Matthew 28:20}
  • “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be terrified nor dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”-{Joshua 11:9}
  • “I can never escape from Your Spirit!
      I can never get away from Your presence!
     If I go up to heaven, You are there;
    if I go down to the grave, You are there.
     If I ride the wings of the morning,
    if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
     even there Your hand will guide me,
    and Your strength will support me.
     I could ask the darkness to hide me
    and the light around me to become night—
    but even in darkness I cannot hide from You.
    To You the night shines as bright as day.
    Darkness and light are the same to You.”-{Psalm 139:7-12 nlt}
  • “…I will be with him in trouble;”-{Palm 91:15}

ALWAYS ABLE…

“Now to Him who is ABLE to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.”-( Eph 3:20-21;)

  • ALWAYS ABLE to Deliver us FROM the trial – (Read 2 Tim 4:17)
    OR…
  • ALWAYS ABLE to Sustain us IN the Trial with His Grace!-(Read 2 Cor 12:9)

Consider Him the GOD who is ABLE…

    “Now to Him who is ABLE to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us.” -{Eph 3:20}

    “I commend you to God and to the word of His grace,which is ABLE TO BUILD YOU UP AND GIVE YOU…the inheritance among all those who are sanctified… {Acts 20:32}
  5. -GOD IS ABLE – TO EXECUTE ALL HIS PROMISES;
    “..fully convinced that God was ABLE TO DO WHAT HE HAD PROMISED.”-{Rom 4:21}
  6. – GOD IS ABLE- TO COMFORT AND EQUIP US TO BE ABLE TO COMFORT OTHERS;
    “Who comforts us in all our affliction, SO THAT WE MAY BE ABLE to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God…(2 Corinthians 1:4}

    “God IS ABLE TO MAKE ALL GRACE ABOUND TO YOU… having all-sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. -{ 2 Corinthians 9:8}

THE GOAL? –HIS GLORY – “…to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen.”-

I pray these will encourage you to look to the LORD, Submit yourself and circumstnces to Him, Trust Him and Praise Him!

I was reminded of these Heading truths as I began to write this note of update and later on looked up verses to go alongside the heading {Highlighted In Red},,. that in every circumstance He is ALWAYS…. in Control, Present, Working, Able,...to do the exceeding abundant beyond all we can ask or think..!

It’s Good to remind ourselves of His Truth that we have a “BUT GOD…” who cares for us…

Thanks for praying for us…
