But God.

Ephesians 2:4-7, But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

Two of the most marvelous words in scripture: “But God.” Joseph, “you meant it for evil against me, but God meant it for good.” “But God led the people.” “But God raised him from the dead.” “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” “But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise.” “But God gave the growth.” “But God’s firm foundation stands.” Rejoice in his provision!

We rejoice in your provision and grace towards us in Jesus Christ!
