A Butterfly’s LessonA Butterfly’s Lesson”One day, a small oppening appeared on a cocoon; a man sat and watched for the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.
![Page 22: 403 C Obedience to God](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042609/568c0ee91a28ab955a923949/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Then, it seems to stop making any progress.
It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could not go any further.
![Page 23: 403 C Obedience to God](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042609/568c0ee91a28ab955a923949/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Leadership Principles from God’s Word: Obedience to GodLeadership Principles from God’s Word: Obedience to God
So the man decided to help the butterfly: he took a pair of scissors and opened the cocoon.
The butterfly then emerged easily.
But it had a withered body, it was tiny and shrivelled wings.
![Page 24: 403 C Obedience to God](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042609/568c0ee91a28ab955a923949/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Leadership Principles from God’s Word: Obedience to GodLeadership Principles from God’s Word: Obedience to God
The man continued to watch because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would open, enlarge and expand, to be able to support the butterfly’s body, and become firm.
![Page 25: 403 C Obedience to God](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042609/568c0ee91a28ab955a923949/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Neither happened!In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a withered body and shrivelled wings. It never was able to fly.
![Page 26: 403 C Obedience to God](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042609/568c0ee91a28ab955a923949/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Leadership Principles from God’s Word: Obedience to GodLeadership Principles from God’s Word: Obedience to God
What the man, in his kindness and his goodwill did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening, were God’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings, so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
![Page 27: 403 C Obedience to God](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042609/568c0ee91a28ab955a923949/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Sometimes, struggles are exactly what we need in our life.
If God allowed us to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we could have been. Never been able to fly.

Your life will always push you beyond your own limits, but be careful that it doesn’t push you over the edge. A life out of balance will eventually erupt in an explosion of blame, excuses and frustration. Bob Briner

Learning, application and commitment: James 1: 22-25
• “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves.
• Do what it says. • Anyone who listens to the word but does not do
what it says is like a man who looks at his face in the mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
• But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it - he will be blessed in what he does.” (NIV)
