Nov 17 - Transformed Like A Butterfly

This is what God said: “Before I shaped you in the womb I knew all about you. Before you saw the light of day I had holy plans for you.” — Jeremiah. 1:4-5 (Message Bible)

Isn’t it amazing to watch the life cycle of a butterfly? The process from egg, to larva, to pupa (or chrysalis), to adult is so fascinating to children, as well as to anyone else who is blessed with an opportunity to witness such a transformation. Every butterfly takes flight and fulfills God‘s created plan. We, like the butterfly, must go through a process that brings us to the beautiful change that fulfills God’s holy plans for our lives

One on One - Personal Time With God
Trust God for what He is about To Do Through Us.
Pray without ceasing.

PRAYER FOCUS: Dear Father in the mighty name of Jesus, thank you for creating us to fly in our spiritual walk with You. Your Word reminds us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous art Thy works and that my soul knoweth right well. ( Ps 139:14) Please help us to stay faithful to you as you are faithful to us. In Jesus’ name, help us to be doers of the Word and not hearers only. Thank You for blessing us to be in a beautiful season of Transformation. We trust you with our final product. For You know the plans you have for us. In Jesus’ Holy name, we pray. Amen.
