A
problem that I sometimes have is that I lose track of the fact that the Savior
is a personal Savior, and not just a global Savior. I realize that He has the capacity to break
the shackles of nations and to level mountains, but I at the same time tend to
struggle believing that He can free me from my shackles of foolishness and sin
(and this after He has already done so much to free me).
But Israel is both a man and a nation, and in the
same way the Lord’s promises to Israel
are promises to both the nation and those who choose to align themselves with that
nation’s standard. If everyone in the
world, beginning in this very moment, chose wickedness over righteousness, it
would not change the simple fact that the Lord has the capacity to save me if I
will let Him. In one sense, the Plan of
Salvation is a great tapestry – a grand epic with billions of actors. In another, very real, sense, the Plan of
Salvation is a personal story of each of our individual choices to develop a
love and relationship with our Savior.
