Cast Not the Day

What about the miracles that got you here? What about the frogs and the lice? What about the rod and the serpent, the river and the blood?
What to Expect When Your Cast Comes Off
What about the hail, the locusts, the fire, the firstborn sons? How soon we forget. It would not have been better to stay and serve the Egyptians, and it is not better to remain outside the Church, nor to put off marriage, nor to reject a mission call or other Church service, and so on and so on forever. Of course our faith will be tested as we fight through these self-doubts and second thoughts. Some days we will be miraculously led out of Egypt—seemingly free, seemingly on our way—only to come to yet another confrontation, like all that water lying before us.
At those times we must resist the temptation to panic and give up.
That is the second lesson of the spirit of revelation. After you have gotten the message, after you have paid the price to feel His love and hear the word of the Lord, go forward. You may, like Alma going to Ammonihah 12 , have to find a route that leads an unusual way, but that is exactly what the Lord is doing here for the children of Israel. Nobody had ever crossed the Red Sea this way, but so what? With the spirit of revelation, dismiss your fears and wade in with both feet. Go forward and not backward. Courage, brethren; and on, on to the victory! Trust in that eternal truth.
If God has told you something is right, if something is indeed true for you, He will provide the way for you to accomplish it. That is true of joining the Church or raising a family, of going on a mission, or any one of a hundred other worthy tasks in life.

What was the problem in ? Why was Joseph not to join another church? Well, your goodly land. Your own little acre flowing with milk and honey. I believe that in our own individual ways, God takes us to the grove or the mountain or the temple and there shows us the wonder of what His plan is for us.
Do Not Draw Back
I also believe that the adversary and his pinched, calculating little minions try to oppose such experiences and then try to darken them after they happen. But that is not the way of the gospel. That is not the way of a Latter-day Saint who claims as the fundamental fact of the Restoration the spirit of revelation. Fighting through darkness and despair and pleading for the light is what opened this dispensation.
Ecclesiastes Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again.
It is what keeps it going, and it is what will keep you going. With Paul, I say to all of you:. I acknowledge the reality of opposition and adversity, but I bear witness of the God of glory, of the redeeming Son of God, of light and hope and a bright future.
I promise you that God lives and loves you, each one of you, and that He has set bounds and limits to the opposing powers of darkness. I testify that Jesus is the Christ, the victor over death and hell and the fallen one who schemes there. The gospel of Jesus Christ is true, and it has been restored.
