But . . .

This winter was so dreamy, wasn't it?  Full of "buts", I think.  January, but mild.  February, but warm.  March, but buds?  April, but blossoms and flowers and green and 70's!!  To think that we actually got to wear our Easter clothes on Easter.

Speaking of "buts", the Psalms are full of them.  Here are just a few I found this morning, that would make us weep if we understood their full implications:

                     Yet you have made him a little lower than the angels, and crowned him with 
                     glory and honor.  (Psalm 8:5)   That's us David is talking about here, after
                     describing the amazing works of God's hand, the heavens and all they contain.

                     But the Lord sits enthroned forever; he has established his throne for justice. 
                     (Psalm 9) This is after describing the wicked and their fate.  So is this next one.

                     But you do see, for you note mischief and vexation, that you may take it into
                     your hands; to you the helpless commits himself; you have been the helper 
                     of the fatherless.  (Psalm 10:14)

So we are not shaken, though the earth gives way and the mountains be moved into the 
heart of the sea (Psalm 46:2).  For you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you 
(Psalm 9:10).

Find your own "buts" in Scripture, and rejoice that God is not like us, but is over us and governs all things in justice and love.
