1 Peter 5:6-7 "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time: Cast all your cares upon Him; for He cares for you."
GOD'S PLAN
A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go no further. So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that,
at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time.
Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.
What the man in his kindness and haste, did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If God allowed us to go through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been.
We could never fly!
God knows exactly how much we can take and I truly believe He will never give us more than we can handle. If you are going through something tough, I encourage you to be strong and rejoice because God knows that you are strong and can handle the situation. Keep focused on the Master and you will always come forth victorious. Praise the Lord for His loving mercy that He gives to all, freely.
Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your path."
GOLDEN NUGGET: STOP handing your problems/worries/concerns over to God and taking it back bit by bit to help God solve them. Just take a look at the palm of your hand each line, each crease, your fingerprints, the ability to move it- bend it Everything is in place - Its PERFECT! God made it! He can handle anything - without our help!
