1 Nephi 9-10

(July 10, 2015)

                The language here has something to teach us – the Lord knows all things from the beginning, so He prepares a way to accomplish His work.  We have no guarantee that we will accomplish our work, but rather that He will accomplish His work.

                Now this is no problem so long as our first priority is on Him accomplishing His work as well.  If our goal is to see the Kingdom of God move forward, than we really have nothing to fear.  If, on the other hand, we have ambitions that we place in a higher priority than the work of the Lord we find ourselves in a tenuous position where everything could slide out from under us very quickly.
