On The Fringe
March 7, 2013

When butterflies hatch at Frederik Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids, Michigan, they do so in an indoor tropical paradise perfectly suited to meet their every need. The temperature is perfect. The humidity is perfect. The food is a perfect balance of calories and nutrition to keep them healthy. No need to go elsewhere. Yet some butterflies see the bright blue sky outside the conservatory and spend their days fluttering near the glass ceiling far away from the plentiful food supply.

I want to say to those butterflies, “Don’t you know everything you need is inside? The outside is cold and harsh, and you will die within minutes if you get what you are longing to have.”

I wonder if that is the message God has for me. So I ask myself, Do I look longingly at things that would harm me? Do I use my energy to gain what I don’t need and shouldn’t have? Do I ignore God’s plentiful provision because I imagine that something just beyond my reach is better? Do I spend my time on the fringes of faith?

God supplies all our needs from His riches (Phil. 4:19). So instead of striving for what we don’t have, may we open our hearts to gratefully receive everything we’ve already been given by Him.

All that I want is in Jesus;
He satisfies, joy He supplies;
Life would be worthless without Him,
All things in Jesus I find. —Loes

Our needs will never exhaust God’s supply.

Read: Philippians 4:10-20

God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. —Philippians 4:19

Bible in a Year:
Deuteronomy 3-4; Mark 10:32-52

Hi!!! Here!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...how was your snowy day? Traffic?

I am home early and will be home til I can find someone to come in during the day to provide care for my Dad. He has gone downhill fast since Friday and my Mom can’t care for him while I’m at work.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Permission Granted!

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Kathy!

*HUGS*

A good day, thanks! The snowstorm was a bust - our hapless "weathermen" couldn't call a storm right if their lives depended on it.

I'm sorry to hear that your Dad is not doing well - he remains in our thoughts and prayers.
