Ether 4-6

(June 21, 2014)

                There are times when we each will face a furious wind in our lives.  I think there are two sources of those furious winds.  The first are the winds that come from Satan and his buffetings.  These tend to drive us towards somewhere we shouldn’t go.  When it comes to these furious winds, it is our obligation to stand in holy places and be not moved.  The other type of furious winds are those sent by the Lord, and which are created to drive us somewhere the Lord wants us to go.  Of course, part of the difficulty is in determining which are which.  I am convinced that we spend a good portion of our mortal existence struggling against the furious winds of the Lord and being blown about by the furious winds of Satan.
