As I was reading Judges 4:14 this morning: “. . . is not the Lord gone out before thee?” I also read the references suggested by Come Follow Me manual, i.e. D&C 84:87-88 which led me to this note in my scriptures:          

Can there be any doubt that when we are acting in the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we are on His errand. He will be on our right, left, etc.!!! What a blessing. I have felt this numerous times as I've served in various callings - and sometimes even when ministering. I will never forget the day I was so encumbered with my own "list" and a neighbor was really sick. I called her with the intent to cheer her up. At the end of my call I asked what I could do to help her. Why did I say that? Did I really want to help, or just make myself feel better for asking? Her biggest concern was her family’s laundry. No problem! I took it on — the laundry for a family of six! Where in the world was I going to get the time. All of a sudden, my "list" (which included preparing for a meeting where I was the one introducing a theme for our Girls Camp, became secondary to the Lord's task— that of helping a friend. I had that laundry clean, folded and back to her in time to make it to my meeting. That night, the Lord put into my mouth the words that were important to Him. It was a faith-building experience I will NEVER forget! Rosemary Lind repeated often: Give the Lord an hour and he’ll give you two back. This was certainly the case that day.

Deborah prophesied that the Lord was with the Israelites and they had won, even before they had overtaken the Midianites. There is much I don’t understand about the Old Testament, but this message was not lost on me. The Lord will fight our battles. We just have to get out there and do His bidding.

D&C 84:88 – And whoso receiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up.

Amen to that! I’ve seen it happen enough times that I believe it. Every time I visit a friend, especially when my day is full anyway, I manage to see the Lord make the way. A truth I will not dispute!
