“In the midst of a very severe trial,
their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity.”
2 Corinthians 8:2
A man watched a butterfly trying to emerge from a cocoon.
Thinking that he would help, the man took his pen knife
and slit the side of the cocoon and the butterfly flopped out.
It lay there for a while, feebly beating it’s wings, then collapsed and died.
“How tragic,” you say, and you are right because God had a plan for that butterfly.
The struggle to break free would build the strength he would need to fly.
God doesn’t want you to live weakly and to die feebly.
He wants you to grow and mature.
Are you going through a tough time right now?
Find the wings in your trial today.
Strengthen them by the promises in God’s Word
and venture on new heights of freedom in Christ today.
