God is a God of great kindness and He has showed many mercies and compassions to His children. We may have been blest with health or a good job, it may be many friends, or a nice house, it may be a dear spouse, it may be a deep and precious relationship with Him, it may be a church blessing whatever it is we have been blest. Yet in our lives there is often ONE thing that still gets us, and hurts us. Naaman the captain if Syria had everything yet he had a BUT in his life, BUT he was a LEPER. Hannah had a lovely husband BUT she was BARREN. The land where Elisha the prophet resided was fair and pleasant BUT the water was bad. Yet the wonderful thing about all these BUTS in scripture is that in these occasions the BUTS became BLESSINGS. I have ONE BUT in my life and it hurts me, and yet one day my BUT will be removed and become a blessing to me. The BUT of Hannah made her praying woman. The BUT of Naaman made him a believer in God. The BUT of the land in Elisha’s day displayed Gods power to the people. The BUT in your life will turn around for your good.
