Adapted from The Seven Seasons of a Man's Life and Devotions for Couples (Zondervan) A tiny caterpillar hatches from an egg, eats several times his weight each day, sheds his skin four or five times, then hides himself inside a hard-shell cocoon. Inside the shell a metamorphosis takes place, and everything about him changes except his internal organs. One day not long after, a lovely butterfly cracks through the shell, dries its wings for a hour or so, then flits about from flower to flower, drinking nectar. As the little creature eats, grains of pollen cling to its body which rub off at the next stop, pollinating the flowers. It's a wild ride! From the caterpillar's point of view his brief life must look like utter chaos! But we can see something it can't see - we can see that what appears to be chaos is actually a master design God has for the life of that little worm. Our lives are like that, too.
