Today is for us LDS a good day. Today we get to sit and listen either by radio, internet, television, satellite or cable to the Prophets and Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am confident that there will be talks and messages given today and tomorrow that will be inspired and just what we need to hear.
BUT it may not be what we want to hear. Not unless we are ourselves in tune with the Spirit. How many times have I sat through a talk and thought to myself, that talk was meant just for me. Sometimes something in the address strikes a chord within us.
Unfortunately there have been off key chords struck in me as well. Not that the speaker was of key. But I was. Sometimes when we are not in tune, there flows in us seeds of discord.
This can get in the way of all our everyday life events. God, Our Heavenly Father, wants us to be happy. He wants us to live according to true gospel principles. By doing so we don't have to become slaves to the selfish desires of men or devils.
In all your preparations I urge you to get closer to the Lord. Closer by prayer, fasting, scripture study. Follow the Savior. He will guide us home. Ultimately that is where we all want to go.
He invites us all.
