Pres. Russell M Nelson - Saturday Morning - Oct 2020

Moving Forward

The work of the Lord is steadily moving forward.

  • The work of the Lord is steadily moving forward.

  • Unusual times can bring unusual rewards

  • I pray that we as a people are using this unique time to grow spiritually

  • We are here on earth to be tested, to see if we will choose to follow Jesus Christ, to repent regularly, to learn, and to progress.      
       
  • Our spirits long to progress. And we do that best by staying firmly on the covenant path.

  • Through it all, our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, love us! They care for us! They and Their holy angels are watching over us.1
     
  • I invite you to ponder a promise the Lord made. He declared that “whosoever will may lay hold upon the word of God, which is quick and powerful, which shall divide asunder all the cunning … and the wiles of the devil, and lead the [disciple] of Christ in a strait and narrow course.”  

  • I pray that you will choose to lay hold upon the word of God as it is declared during this general conference. 
                                               
  • I pray that you may feel the Lord’s perfect love for you,3,  
                                                                                                                   

 Footnote 1: 
D&C 88:
 And whoso receiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up.

Footnote 3:
I am encircled about eternally in the arms of his love.


My Take-Aways:

1. Nothing can stop the work of the Lord, so don't fear evil's agenda.

2. Find unusual rewards in unusual times - make lemonade out of lemons

3. See this as a unique time to grow spiritually- as I pray and live in gratitude God will show me new ways to serve Him and others. 

4. Perspective: I'm here to choose Jesus Christ; Repent regularly; learn; and progress - (best done by staying firmly on the Covenant Path.)

5. If I'm not happy, it's because I'm not progressing

6. Trust the word of God to overcome evil and lead me right

7. Pray to feel the Lord's perfect love for me
