"Do you worry?"

Last month, I shared a story with you about how my wife and I sometimes worry about the horses in the pastures when the fog rolls in and we can’t see them from our home. Your response was incredible to that story with people all over the world saying, “Thank you for that story about worry!”

So this week, let’s talk about worry and why we worry and what to do about it.

I saw a beautiful butterfly on our yellow butterfly bush recently. And I thought about how that butterfly became so lovely. Basically, it had to die to itself. It was a caterpillar that ate leaves until one day it sensed that it was time to spin a cocoon around itself. It stayed in that cocoon, basically dead, until it was time to emerge a beautiful butterfly.

Now did the caterpillar worry: “What if I don’t come out alive?” No, it trusted the abundance of God’s created world and the sense God gave it to know what to do when, and lived into it. The butterfly knew what you know at some level: God is in control. So be a butterfly today and know God is in control.
