The Upper Room Daily Devotional 24 September 2022 MESSAGE
When our daughter was four years old, we received a chrysalis in a clear jar. I explained to her that it was God’s plan for a caterpillar to change into a beautiful butterfly. We kept a close watch on it because we could already see the wings inside.
Then one afternoon we saw that the butterfly was halfway out! Hurriedly, we took the jar outside. The butterfly worked its way out and stood on the rim of the jar, wobbling back and forth, hesitating. As it attempted to fly, it kept going up and down, almost hitting the ground. My daughter’s hand slid into mine. “Do something, Mommy!” Suddenly, the butterfly soared up and away.

It struck me how we humans are often like that when we go through a major change — like moving to a new home, school, or job. We can feel wobbly and unsure in our efforts to adjust. But if we keep working at it, we eventually settle into our new way of life.
God is an awesome Creator who speaks to us through creation. I can look back on my life and recognize times when I was like that butterfly. But with God’s help, I made it through difficult seasons of change time and time again.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Mighty God, thank you for your presence with us as we encounter life’s ups and downs. Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Though change may be difficult, God gives me strength to endure.
PRAYER FOCUS
Those facing a major change
