I love studying the Monarch butterfly, as it is the most fascinating insect created.
As a caterpillar, it is a voracious eater—eagerly devouring the milkweed. At first it can eat only the most tender part of the plant. Then as it grows it is able to digest the whole plant.
An alkaloid compound in the milkweed makes the butterfly noxious to birds that try to eat it. Any bird that tries to eat this butterfly becomes very sick, so the birds stay away from the Monarch.
The lesson you learn is that eating the proper food gives you protection.
Like the monarch butterfly, which at first can eat only the most tender part of the milkweed plant, you start out drinking the milk of God’s Word. Then as you mature you are able to digest the meat.
"As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,
If indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious". 1 Peter 2:2-3.
