The Case of the Caterpillar

Ha! What joy for those who come running after ME! For in MY presence is fullness of joy! So stick to Me and you will win! I'm not a man that I would lie! I'm not going to take you half way. I'm a good leader and good leaders take you the distance. 

So, track with Me, darling. When you feel confused, be aware of what you're focusing on. Are you focusing on My voice or listening to lies? Are you leaning on your understanding of the situation, or leaning on My understanding of the situation.

Consider this:

Someone discovers a caterpillar cocoon but they do not know what to make of it. Leaning on their own understanding (which is limited), they might think that the caterpillar is suffering. They may interpret what they see as negative, not understanding, not perceiving, that that is exactly the will of God in its life. For, if the caterpillar did not experience the cocoon stage, it would never become a butterfly. The person, however, genuinely concerned for this caterpillar, may try to 'rescue' it and 'set it free' from the cocoon by manipulating the situation, getting their fingers into it to 'help,' but ironically creating a problem themselves!

This is why I tell you to lean NOT on your own understanding but in all your ways get your understanding from Me. It is more important than you know. And in cases like the caterpillar, it could mean life or death.
