Feast on the Word - Quote of the Month
“… the Lord will bless you with miracles if you
believe in Him, ‘doubting nothing.’ Do the spiritual
work to seek miracles. Prayerfully ask God to help
you exercise that kind of faith. I promise that you can
experience for yourself that Jesus Christ ‘giveth
power to the faint’ and to them that have no might he
increaseth strength.’”
-President Russell M. Nelson
Presidency Message - Sis. Findlay
What do elephants, polio, and inspiration have in common? I will explain. One morning, while on
safari, we watched a giant bull elephant with enormous tusks that touched the ground walk out of the early
morning mist. Another time, we watched a polio survivor with crippled legs, wearing a suit and tie, crawl
into the Ghana temple to do ordinance work. Then there are the times when we receive inspiration, that
is so clear and strong, that we cannot possibly doubt that the Lord loves and knows us. These moments,
and so many others, have lifted and filled me with awe.
Researchers suggest that when we are fully immersed in experiencing awe, it switches on our brains
so that we engage more with our external world and less with ourselves. Elder Soares, in his latest
conference talk: “In Awe of Christ and His Gospel” reminds us of the promises the Father has prepared
for us: “The Kingdom is yours; the blessings thereof are yours and the riches of eternity are yours.” In
closing, Elder Soares prays “…that we will ever stand in awe of Jesus Christ and His complete, infinite,
and perfect love that heals and draws us closer to Him.”
