- How do weak things become strong?
- Moses was slow of speech.
- Did he become a great orator or did the Lord call him and uphold him even though he was slow of speech?
- Enoch was slow of speech.
- He could move mountains and change the course of rivers with his words later but was that the power of words or was it the power of righteous use of priesthood. In other words, did he become a great speaker or did the Lord do great things through the mouth of a not-great speaker?
- Gideon felt that nobody would follow him.
- In this case it is clear that people were willing to follow him as he led them against Midian.
- Moroni felt his writing was weak.
- Are his written words powerful or did the Lord make them powerful in the process of translation? In this case we’ll never know that but we do know that the real power of his words was always going to be the witness of the Holy Ghost confirming those words and that could be done with weak writing or strong writing.
- If I feel invisible but I come into the Lord and He has promised to make weak things become strong does that mean that I will become noticed and influential or does it mean that I will stop feeling inconsequential and forgotten or does it mean that even if I feel overlooked in the church the Lord can bring about good outcomes from the efforts that I feel are unseen and ineffective?
