I was walking out to my truck yesterday morning and had to
step over a caterpillar. It started me thinking how before it becomes a
butterfly it’s wrapped in a dark cocoon on the backside of some tree. It could
seem like that’s all it was meant to do. But inside that cocoon, we all know
it’s getting ready to transform into one of the most beautiful insects God ever
created.
Friends, we all go through seasons of struggle but during
those times we have to remember that the Creator of the universe is greater
than any struggle we face. God takes those challenges and uses them to strengthen
you so that you can become the full, amazing manifestation of who He’s created you
to be and have all of the awesome blessings He’s specially designed for your
life.
As it becomes a butterfly though, the caterpillar doesn’t
just sit and wait for someone to come and let it out. No, that butterfly knows
that it has to use that time to prepare if it’s going to be strong enough to
fly at just the prescribed right time. In the same way, we have to do something
to get out of the confining places we’re in. You have to actively seek your way
out of the dead-end job, the wrong relationship, the self-defeating mindset. We
have to press through if we ever want to get to that next higher level God
destined you for.
Today, no matter what you may be facing, remember the bible
says God’s grace is sufficient for you. I really like the NLV version, “I am
all you need. I give you My loving-favor. My power works best in weak people.” It’s
okay to feel weak, because God never intended for any of us to navigate this
life on our own. Put and keep your faith in God so that He can lead you into
the higher level of blessing He has waiting for you!
