BUT!!!

An announcement was made, The Prayer meeting will be on Tuesday, but it will be at -----'s house. Just think of the ramifications, if you did not hear the portion after the but.
How often do we actually miss out on all the information, because we think we know all about it?
This can happen in the application of the Scriptures to our lives. Take the following verse in Psalm 34.
Psalm 34:19 Disciples so often get into trouble; still, God is there every time. (Message)
Psalm 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. (KJ)
On hearing only the first portion of the verse, you could assume that to be very righteous, you are required to have many afflictions, or troubles. Totally missing the point, that the Lord, will walk through the afflictions, or troubles with you.
Thank you, Lord!!!
