I was impressed to post some thoughts from our high council speaker today. This scripture he called "the Lord's model for spiritual progress."
"And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them." (Ether 12:27)
Our responsibilities:
1. Come unto Him - fast, pray, scripture study, pay tithes and offerings, be obedient.
2. Humble outselves - trust Him and accept the trials we are given in this life without complaining.
3. Have faith in Him - keep a positive perspective of the plan of salvation, trust His power, deepen our committment to follow Him.
His promises:
1. His grace is sufficient for all men - the atonement
2. Our weakness will become a strength - He reveals to us what to do, how to do it, what we need for our weakness to become a strength.
We need to remember the words of Elder Nelson, "We all need to remember: men are that they might have joy—not guilt trips!"
Paul understood this when he said, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." (Philippians 4:13)
The Lord knows our strengths and weaknesses. He is just waiting for us to ask for help. Ask!
Love, Mom
