Hear the post above!
What if we woke up this morning with every need taken care
of?
Imagine - it was the best sleep of our lives, so refreshing
and calming. The house is clean, breakfast is already made and set. Clothes are
pressed and hanging. Homework was
done before we even received the assignment. The car is warmed and ready to drive, and no traffic on the
road. That would be a good morning, so easy to maneuver. No worry whatsoever is occupying our
minds.
That’s how a caterpillar arises when it’s time for the egg
to hatch. A caterpillar wakes up
typically with no one to guide them on how to navigate life. Once the egg
hatches, all it knows is that it is on a leaf it can crawl upon and eat. The
butterfly, not long before, knew that the caterpillar would need this leaf and,
after caring for the smallest thing, we can see the fruits of her choice by the
fact that the caterpillar exists. The caterpillar will grow and grow, crawling
to other leaves and munching away with their other cater-companions. The very
first awakening moment is easy, with little else to worry about but feeding and
getting strong (and maybe balancing weight on the leaves).
When we answer our call, we are placed in situations with
all the necessary tools to accomplish them. Soon as we wake up, we have the basics to grow deeper in our
path and establish the necessary connections – they just present themselves
because of the foundations we have made. It is like the scripture says, “And my
God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ
Jesus” (Philippians 4:16). We have
already been given what we need to thrive in all environments. We are already on our leaves – let us
open our mouths and take a bite.
Consider opening our eyes to the gifts and tools surrounding
us that relate to our calling. The season is here – allow the ideas to grow and
grow.
