Pain in the Butt?



It may be to much information, but on leaving the shower last night I bent over to pick up the towel and my bottom made contact with our superhot towelrail on the wall behind me.The result was an uncomfortable burn, which is now a constant reminder of my mistake.


The biblical buts are a constant reminder of Gods promises and prompting to stay on the right road, sometimes a painful journey


Ephesians 2:4 But because of his great love for us,God, who is rich in mercy,made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions-it is by Grace you have been saved.



Look out for the But dont ignore the warnings they may even encourage you.

Divine protection!
UCB Notes 05 Feb 2008
'I will protect those who trust in my name.' PSALM 91:14
On a chilly March afternoon before going home for dinner, Pastor Walter Klempel fired up the church furnace in preparation for choir practice. When it was time to return to church with his family they were delayed because his daughter changed clothes. At the same time student Ladona Vadergrift was struggling with a geometry problem and stayed home to work on it. Sisters Royena and Sadie Estes' car wouldn't start. Herbert Kipf lingered over a letter he'd put off writing. Joyce Black was feeling 'plain lazy' and stayed home till the last minute. Pianist Marilyn Paul fell asleep after dinner and her mum, the choir director, had trouble waking her. Pals Lucille Jones and Dorothy Wood were late because of a radio broadcast. Every single choir member was late; something that's never happened before nor since. Was it just a fluke? No! At 7:30 that night the West Side Church was flattened by an explosion from a gas leak ignited by the furnace...directly below the empty choir loft! God's looking out for you when you don't even know you're in danger! As His child you 'live within the shadow of the Almighty, sheltered by...God...He rescues you from every trap...He will shield you with his wings...His...promises are your armour...he orders his angels to protect you wherever you go' (Psalm 91:1-11 TLB). The Bible says: 'The Angel of the Lord guards and rescues all who reverence him' (Psalm 34:7 TLB); 'to trust in God means safety' (Proverbs 29:25 TLB). You can call it coincidence, chance, fate, or you can call it what it really is; divine protection!
