But as for me
But as for me
This was a phrase I had seen in more
than one verse. It’s a transition phrase. The author put thought
into this decision you’re about to see. It’s in the vein of storytelling
and scene changes. Every good comic book takes you from scene to scene
then changes. Think of it like this. Things are going on in this
one place and time. Then we get to this person and the perspective has
shifted in the story. You’ve gone from an arching overview and now you
settle on the first-person perspective in that character’s mind. If you
still don’t have the mental image, yet think of the narrator on the Powerpuff
Girls cartoons saying, “Meanwhile the city of Townsville......”. So, I
read this phrase and it made me go to BibleHub.com and look to see if there was
more than one in the Bible.
This was the first verse I came to
that started me thinking.
Psalm 73:28
“But as for me, how good it is to be
near God! I have made the sovereign Lord my shelter, and I will tell
everyone about the wonderful things you do.”
It says it’s a Psalm of Asaph and
this writer thought about this choice before making it.
Here’s two more “But as for me”
passages.
Psalm 75:9
“But as for me, I will always
proclaim what God has done; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.”
Micah 7:7
“But as for me, I look to the Lord
for help. I wait confidently for God to save me. And my God will
certainly hear me.”
But as for you the participants what
has to happen to make you choose God today and seek Him.
My hope is in you by Third Day
