| Break Out of Your Cocoon |
|
| "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…" |
| (Romans 12:2, NIV) |
|
| THE WORD |
On
the inside of each one of us is a blessed, prosperous, victorious
person. This person is free from addictions and bad habits, confident
and secure in God. But just because that’s in you doesn’t mean it’s
going to automatically come out.
In
today’s scripture, that word “transformed” in the original language is
“metamorpho.” It’s where we get our word “metamorphose.” We know how a
caterpillar metamorphoses into a butterfly. This is saying that if you
meditate on God’s Word, then a transformation will take place.
Think
about the little caterpillar. It’s very plain, nothing really special
about it. At a certain point, it forms a cocoon. The metamorphose starts
to take place. It’s a process. Little by little it changes. One day, it
begins to push out of the cocoon. Before long, it goes from being one
of the plainest insects to being one of the most beautiful. Instead of
having to crawl on the ground and squirm around, it can now fly wherever
it wants to go. Today, why don’t you break out of your cocoon? Believe
that God is at work in you. Believe that He has good plans for you.
Believe that He will complete every good work that He’s started in your
life!
