I watched a documentary about Monarch butterflies when I randomly
turned on the TV this week. It said that the butterflies use the sun to guide
them to where they’ve never been before and they go from Canada to Mexico. Scientists
said they could not identify any other way the butterflies know where to migrate other
than this since they only live 30 days and the migration lasts for the life
span of three to four generations.
There was such a profound lesson in that for me. It’s amazing and beautiful that they can be
so attuned to light to guide them.
We, too, can get direction in our lives by looking to the light and
going to our Father in Heaven. We may feel
prompted to take a certain direction along our path and be left in the
intellectual dark as to why. But if we follow the light, it will never lead us
astray. The butterflies inherit this ability to follow the sun. As children of
God, we inherit the ability to recognize and follow the light.
