The Wings of Victory
Peter asked, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”—John 13:37 NIV
In the above verse Peter asks Jesus why he can’t follow Him. Sometimes, a period of waiting is exactly what we need to get to the next level spiritually. Just as a caterpillar must rest and transform in a chrysalis, we must be patient and trust Him on our faith journey.
Lord, even though I feel like I am in a cocoon of waiting, I trust that beautiful wings are forming to bring me to victory.

Blooming With God’s Grace
And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.—Matthew 6:28–29 (NIV)
Faithful Stewardship
Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds; for riches do not endure forever, and a crown is not secure for all generations.—Proverbs 27:23–24 (NIV)
