I’ve
been watching the Monarchs flying around the yard all summer waiting for one to
light on a flower and stay there long enough for me to capture a photo. Their
movement is usually so swift it’s hard to capture, and they would never light
on a bloom. I eventually stopped following them because my attempts were futile.
Watching
them this morning I thought soon they will migrate, and I won’t see them
anymore. Without a second thought I spontaneously said, "Lord please let me get a
shot before they leave".
God is
faithful...He hears, and He answers. I followed one...it was like he knew what I
wanted; or, was he being obedient to the voice of God; he slowed down—and even
perched on a bloom; on second look it wasn’t a bloom, it was a leaf. How
astounding is that! Even more astounding he allowed me to capture him in an area of the yard that is the least beautiful. Nonetheless, I was excited! To my delight this is what I captured:
God answers even the smallest of prayers...
and teach us lessons in the answer.
- The swiftness of the butterfly
- My futile chase
- Acknowledging my desire to God in a spontaneous request
- The butterfly cooperating, choosing a barren site to land
- Lighting on a leaf instead of a bloom
I stumble trying to get a closer view but don't fall- My eventual victory
