Sacrament Service
“We ought not to think of God’s plan as a cosmic vending machine where we (1) select a desired blessing, (2) insert the required sum of good works, and (3) the order is promptly delivered.” (Elder D. Todd Christofferson, “Our Relationship with God”, April 2022 General Conference)
DnC 19
16 For behold, I, God, have suffered these things for all, that they might not suffer if they would repent;
17 But if they would not repent they must suffer even as I;
18 Which suffering caused myself, even God, the greatest of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, and to suffer both body and spirit—and would that I might not drink the bitter cup, and shrink—
19 Nevertheless, glory be to the Father, and I partook and finished my preparations unto the children of men.
Going through trials can magnify the words of scripture.
You can look for and expect miracles in your life.
Matthew 5:16
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Sunday School
Where we get in trouble is when we expect a miracle in our way.
DnC 123
16 You know, brethren, that a very large ship is benefited very much by a very small helm in the time of a storm, by being kept workways with the wind and the waves.
“My young friends, be strong. The philosophies of men surround us. The face of sin today often wears the mask of tolerance.” (President Thomas S. Monson, “Examples of Righteousness”, April 2008 General Conference)
