Helaman 10 – If you had just been shown a miracle like Nephi calling out a murderer, would you just walk away from he who had performed the miracle? Wouldn’t you want to be by him and hear what else he had to say? Apparently not, if you are wicked – even after a witness – a miracle.
Nephi leaves the people to go home and the Lord visits him as he is pondering the events of the day. He blesses him and basically Nephi’s calling and election is made sure. He gives him power to do all things – seal on earth and heaven – and gives him the assignment to warn the people that they will be smitten if they don’t repent. He walked back to the multitude to deliver the message. He didn’t go home first to warn his family of the plan. I would think he had made his own preparations. He is protected and able to get the message to all the people because of the Spirit’s protection. He was on the Lord’s errand.
When we are serving the Lord, the Lord provides the means. As I currently struggle just a little with the logistics of a church assignment from my Stake President, I must remember this. So far, I’ve been led to people who have helped educate me. I need to trust in the Lord that I’ll find a way to share this information with those who need it. That is my dilemma. But I too am on the Lord’s errand. It has been my experience (and I have faith this will continue), that He will provide a way.
