BIBLE MEDITATION:
2
Corinthians 8:2 - "How that in a
great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty
abounded unto the riches of their liberality."
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
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 its wings, then collapsed and died. "How
tragic," you say, and you are right because God has a plan
for butterflies. The struggle to break free builds the strength
they need to fly. God doesn't want you to live weakly and to die feebly.
He wants you to grow and mature.
ACTION POINT:
Find the wings in your
trial today. Strengthen them by the promises in God's Word and venture onto new
heights of freedom in Christ today.
