In the book of Second Corinthians, chapter seven and verse six, the Apostle Paul begins with these words: "Nevertheless, God..." The verse prior indicates a time of trouble and adversity. No rest, conflict from every direction, battles on the outside and fears within are how Paul described the setting.
Most of us have faced seasons when life was difficult because of the things we were facing. It is in these times that we need a "nevertheless" from God. The word nevertheless is defined as: in spite of that; notwithstanding; even though; howbeit; yet; still. When everything in the natural looks hopeless, we need to know the power of "Nevertheless, God."
You may be facing a crisis today. Your marriage appears to be over. Nevertheless, God. He is able to put your marriage back together. And if your spouse walks out on you, God can give you a brand new start. Or, you may be facing high debts and low income. The job isn't enough to pay the bills. Nevertheless, God. He can give you another job. He can give you creative ideas for starting a new business. You may have gotten a bad report from the doctor. Nevertheless, God.
Peter was fishing, and caught nothing. The boat was empty, his nets were empty. He was tired, weary, and discouraged. But he traded his emptiness when he said these words to Jesus: "Nevertheless, at your word, I will let down the nets." (Luke 5:5) When Peter obeyed the command of Jesus to launch out into the deep, the result was a miraculous supply of fish that was more than enough! Like Peter, our boats may be empty, but a "nevertheless God" can turn things around!
You may be facing seeming impossible situations today. NEVERTHELESS GOD!
