1 Nephi: 8:8
And after I had traveled
for the space of many hours in darkness,
I began to pray unto the Lord
that he would have mercy on me,
And after I had traveled
for the space of many hours in darkness,
I began to pray unto the Lord
that he would have mercy on me,
according to the multitude of his tender mercies.
Deep thought...Sometimes we have to do things in blind faith. We don't always know what lies ahead of us, or what is going to happen, but if Heavenly Father tells us to do something, or we know that it is the right thing, we just need to step confidently into the dark and trudge through it, knowing that everything will work out in the end.
It's a hard thing to do. As humans, our first instinct is to take the easy way out. Follow the trail with the reward in plain sight. Take the lighted path. But if we heed the counsel of the Lord, we will realize that stepping into the dark and following an unlit path with an intangible reward is actually easier. Because doing so, we will not be alone. We will have our Father with us. But on the lit path, we will have nobody but ourselves to help us along the way. That and our instant worldly reward.
I'd rather wait for my reward and have the help of a loving Father.
What do you think?
Plus, a little mystery is more fun. ;)
