TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
|
|
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!
