Don't Be a But
Lessons from the Bible's Most Powerful Pauses
30-Day Christian Devotional
Two little words. A whole lot of meaning.
But God.
How many times have you read those words in Scripture without giving much thought to what comes next? Or how often have you overlooked words like yet, nevertheless, and however?
These little words can change the entire meaning of a passage. Sometimes they introduce a miracle. Sometimes they remind us of God's faithfulness. Other times they challenge us to trust Him even when nothing about our circumstances has changed.
In Don't Be a But: Lessons from the Bible's Most Powerful Pauses, Dr. Crystal Sciarini draws from her years of counseling, her background in naturopathic medicine, and, perhaps most importantly, her own experiences as a Christian to explore 30 Scriptures and the lessons we can learn from them.
Written from an Apostolic Pentecostal perspective using the King James Version of the Bible, this devotional combines biblical teaching, personal stories, and a little humor. Crystal has spent much of her professional life helping people understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and overall well-being. But knowing how something works and putting that knowledge into practice are two very different things. She readily admits that she sometimes struggles with the very things she encourages others to do.
Throughout these thirty days, Crystal shares some of her own struggles with faith, fear, forgiveness, grief, disappointment, and the sometimes frustrating process of learning to trust God when life doesn't go according to plan. She doesn't pretend to have all the answers, and she certainly doesn't believe that quoting a Bible verse will magically make every problem disappear.
Each day begins with a Scripture and a Pause Principle, followed by personal experiences and biblical lessons that encourage you to take a closer look at your own life. Reflection questions and prayer provide an opportunity to consider what you've read and how it applies to your relationship with God.
Some days may make you laugh. Others may make you uncomfortable. You might recognize yourself in a story, reconsider something you've always believed, or realize you've been approaching a situation in a way that isn't helping you or honoring God.
This devotional wasn't written to be another book you read for a few minutes each morning and then forget about. Crystal's hope is that you'll find yourself reaching for your Bible, spending more time in prayer, and developing a greater understanding of God's character.
Whether you've been serving God for decades or are just beginning your walk with Him, there is always something more to learn. And sometimes that lesson comes from a word we've read a hundred times without really noticing it.
Life isn't always fair. People disappoint us. Our bodies fail. Prayers aren't always answered the way we want, and sometimes we find ourselves facing situations we never imagined we'd have to endure.
But God.
Those two words don't promise that our problems will disappear. They remind us that our circumstances don't change who God is.
And that is worth pausing for.
