Application
Did you ever here the story of the man and who tried to help the butterfly? It seems he saw a The caterpillar struggling to get out of its cocoon. He felt sorry for it and gently cut open the cocoon to help what was now a butterfly emerge. The problem is a butterfly must struggle to strengthen its wings. If it doesn’t go through the process it will never fly. We are a lot like that butterfly. If we don’t go through our struggles we never learn to persevere. If we don’t persevere we never gain the strength to March forth.
Prayer
Lord, thank you for strengthening me each day. I know to be able to march forth I need to learn to persevere.
