The title of this blog is taken as paraphrase, from Tony Evans a renowned pastor. I do not know the title of the message and I only listened a few brief minutes to his sermon while driving yesterday. These 3 words have landed deep into my thinking! I have not been able to shake the phrase as I process my thoughts about today and my future.
My faith is being stretched a bit more these days than I am comfortable with. Generally on a bad day I am a half glass personality. I find in most situations the good, the blessings, the lessons learned and run with those thoughts to keep me moving forward. Worry drains me and I hate that feeling. I hate being down and looking for the negatives in life.
'FLIP THE BUTS' determines how we are going to succeed and make it through life. I am a Jesus Christ follower. No apologies, no embarrassment and grateful! However, I am human and my faith no matter how many times God has been proven Himself faithful to me, I will waiver from time to time in my trust.
So what does this 'FLIP THE BUTS' look like?
'God is good but life is hard!' vs 'Life is hard but God is good!'
'God is in control but I am afraid!' vs 'I am afraid but God is in control!'
Today this entry is short but hopefully if one is reading this, you will be profoundly moved as I was yesterday and today! 'Flip the Buts' and allow God to show you He loves and cares for you. The alternative is pretty grim!
The next time the word BUT comes out of your mouth, stop! Think!
Put God in charge and let Him prove His faithfulness to you (me)!
Put God in charge and let Him prove His faithfulness to you (me)!
