I am currently reading a book called, "Standing for Something" by Gordon B. Hinckley. So far, it is a wonderful book that has brought me to think about several things. In chapter one, President Hinckley describes how love is essential in life. My point in this post is not about love. Rather, it is about something else that is mentioned in that first chapter, the North Star.
President Hinckley comments that most of us nowadays are not able to always see the North Star due to the fact that we live in cities and the city lights drown out the firmament. I immediately felt that this is much the same as the Spirit and the guidance he gives. Nowadays, the "lights" of the world are getting brighter and trying to drown out the Spirit. Just as we can choose to venture up into the mountains, get away from the city lights, and see the stars, we can distance ourselves from the worldly lights, receive the guidance from Heavenly Father, and choose to follow it.
