How do you think the
first caterpillar felt when he woke up one morning and discovered he could
fly?
The wonderful
story of the caterpillar and the butterfly is one of God’s best
stories (and believe me, God has some great stories).
Picture this
- a slow, ugly, worm, crawling around on the ground, getting stepped
on, one of the things people can’t stand to look at because it’s so
grotesque. I mean, who wants to look at a worm!
The
caterpillar is about 2 inches long, has 8 pairs of legs (but is very
slow), 12 eyes (but cannot see very well), and ugly protective
bristles (to fend off enemies - but still gets stepped on).
They are
harmful to agriculture, coming out at night to destroy food and
plants growing in the garden.
They are
mean, ugly little insects.
In general
they have a miserable life.

God
is revealing to the prophet Daniel a glimpse into what the world will look
like at the end. He is also making that same Divine revelation available
to those of us who will take time to listen to Him and observe our world.
"Look at the birds in the
air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your
heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?"
(Matthew 6:26)
