| Proverbs 25:2 – “It is The Glory of God to conceal a Matter” |
Ok. The bravado-“hath come down.” It is easy to speak the Word of God to everybody-anybody. Until, the Word, starts REALLY speaking-to me.
And He is.
Honestly, since my husband passed January 14 of 2024, I have been through the most violent act of nature within. The Twilight Zone-I mean-Twi-light zone!
Alot of darkness before the dawn. The Lord made it clear that He has separated me.
As the changes occur, I understand a bit more about the most violent act of nature. Do you know what that is? It is a caterpillar-within a cocoon. (I think you can purchase a Caterpillar/Butterfly kit now).
I do not know if science has been able to catch the changes within a cocoon, without killing the “caterpillar” in the process. On the outside, it looks like a quiet, undisturbed substance. Inside? If I understand correctly, the caterpillar has been completely separated from the earth it once crawled. This is what the life of a Christian is all about!
From the article, “How Does A Caterpillar Change into a Butterfly?’ in August 10th, 2012-from Scientific American.com:
(In Grace’s own summary-God help us all):
1. The hungry caterpillar is born with a ferocious appetite and stuffs its face with a bunch of leaves.
2.Sheds it’s skin
3.Hangs itself upside down.
4.Spins a cocoon or morphs into a what science calls a “Chrysalis”.
5. Digests itself.(Yummy!)
6.Turns into caterpillar soup
7.Existing cells become what’s called “Imaginal discs” which form its adult body parts.
8. Emerges as a butterfly or moth.
Just a summary-remember. 😊
Some scientists say a moth remembers the last stages of transformation. No wonder moths act like they do not know what they are doing. They keep looking back 😊
I understand this. Oh boy, do I!!
The last stage is completely concealed. Or there never would be any butterflies to enjoy.
“It is The Glory of God to conceal a Matter”(Proverbs 25:2) Something to ponder!
In Christ.
