How many times when you were younger did you say, But Mommy or But Daddy? When you got a job did you ever say to your boss, But Boss? What about saying it to your husband or wife. I remember answering one of my sons with Don’t ‘But Mommy’ me. It seems to be a common phrase even in the Bible. Except in the Bible it is used in a better context.

Here are ten ‘but God’ verses from the King James Bible. I’m sure there are a lot more.

Genesis 50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me, but God meant it unto good, to bring it to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

1 Samuel 23:14 And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand.

Psalm 73:26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.

Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them and said unto them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

Acts 7:9 And the patriarchs, move with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt; but God was with him, …

Acts 13:30 But God raised him from the dead:…

Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 Corinthians 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.

1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape that ye may be able to bear it.
