Trust in God, Then Go and Do

I love how he relates his efforts to prepare for this assignment.

How can I pay off my mortgage? How soon? Paying off my mortgage will allow me to blossom.

“Listen for the word of the Lord to you in every sermon, song, and prayer in this conference.”

. . . the Lord doth grant unto all nations, of their own nation and tongue, to teach his word, yea, in wisdom, all that he seeth fit that they should have . . .

This is the reason that we are to go to our local leaders rather than always writing to the apostles when we have questions.

. . . trust comes from knowing God.

God does not rule in nations, but He is mindful of them. He can and does place people in positions of influence who want what is best for the people and who trust in the Lord.

We should remember that both when we are choosing people to run our governments and when interacting with them.

You show your trust in Him when you listen with the intent to learn and repent and then you go and do whatever He asks. If you trust God enough to listen for His message in every sermon, song, and prayer in this conference, you will find it. And if you then go and do what He would have you do, your power to trust Him will grow, and in time you will be overwhelmed with gratitude to find that He has come to trust you.
