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.
In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.—Job 1:22 (NIV)
