Deuteronomy 6-7

(May 3, 2014)
In light of the pull that I feel toward (finally) knowing and accepting my role as a small gear in a grand mechanism that is the Plan of Salvation, it is unsurprising that I would find the language of these chapters meaningful and profound to me.  We have such a limited time here on Earth, and then we pass on to the other side and those we leave behind are left to their own devices.  We can serve them in mortality to the best of our ability, but ultimately the best way to bless and serve them is to help them come to know the truth of the Gospel.  This is why a written record is so important (imagine the confusion and difficulties we would now have defending the Church from attacks without the various journals kept at the time!) both for us now (to see God’s Hand) and to those we leave behind (to show God’s Hand to them).
