The Rock

Helaman 5

I went back to see what I wrote the last time I read this chapter.  I would feel to repeat it, so I won’t.  Suffice it to say, I still pray that my Dad will somehow be allowed to impact my wayward children.

I’ll focus instead on Verse 12.  I have written my name over the words “my sons”, so I make this verse a little more personal.  It is upon the rock – my redeemer, even Jesus Christ, that I must build my foundation.  I have felt the buffetings of Satan, the mighty winds of adversity, the whirlwind of the storm that is all around me.  I marvel that while these things are going on all around me, I still feel to sing, and although my mental time is spent a lot wondering how I can help my wayward children, I’m okay.  I sleep fine.  I feel my Savior’s love in my life.  I feel happy and know all will be well some day.  I don’t know how, but I know the Lord does.  I’m not miserable, but sad for them.  This is a very comforting verse in the Book of Mormon.  It is probably one we should all have taped to our mirrors and memorized.   

I believe I will do just that.  Consider it done!
