Living with His Might

Mosiah 9:18 "And God did hear our cries, and did answer our prayers, and we did go forth in His might."  Whenever we are in great need, we can call upon the Lord and His Might will be with us as we push through.  This is a very important principle to me, that the Lord will make us strong if we only ask.  I need this more often than I know how to say, and I'm so grateful for it.

Something that comes from living with His might is the ability to see things from a different perspective.  I know some of this is because of me, but I can't deny that the Lord is helping a lot.  In Mosiah, after Zeniff finishes explaining the sin his people are in, he says: (Mosiah 7:28) "Therefore, who wondereth that they are in bondage, and that they are smitten with sore afflictions?"  This brings up an interesting point.  If you feel like things are unfairly bad, think of what YOU can do better.  We are more in charge of our lives than we sometimes like to admit.

I'm so glad for teachers and prophets that give me insight so I know how to receive more on my own.  Mosiah 8:19 says: "and these interpreters were doubtless prepared for the purpose of unfolding all such mysteries to the children of men."  All of our prophets and teachers are 'interpreters' of a sort, and unfold mysteries and bring us great understanding. Amen, amen.
