(September 9, 2014)
There
will almost certainly be times when the Lord is telling us one thing while everyone
else in the world is telling us something else. I have noticed in my own life that while I
intellectually understand that the Lord is omnipotent, as a practical matter I
sometimes allow myself to not believe it. Likewise, I intellectually understand that the
Lord is omniscient, but sometimes I emotionally react as though He is not.
If the
Lord is telling me something – something to do or something to believe – then it
does not matter who else in the world is telling me something different. I find this characteristic in myself as I read
through the various apologetics for the Book of Mormon – I think that
there is ample evidence to support the historical authenticity of the book, but
even if there was not and even if every expert in the world contradicted that
book in every way it would not change the underlying truth of it because the
Lord has told me that it is true. And
one voice (the Lord or His servants) is sufficient to counteract all the voices
combined by everyone else in the world.
