Missed the Boat

Unfortunately, at one time or another we have all had one of those "missed the boat" experiences, at least at some level. 

Lately, the Lord has revealed much anew, given instructions and directions, extended offers, and has much work currently underway. Therefore, this may be a good time to awake and arise, come unto God with a sincere heart of repentance and meekness, and more fully recognize what is presently before us and what God is offering today.

Hopefully, at this level of importance, those "missing the boat" experiences can be avoided.

The Lord's Heart Today

The Lord is in control over the church, men, and all things. When He undertakes to accomplish something, "there is nothing that the Lord God shall take in his heart to do but what he will do it." (Abraham 3:17)

Recently, the Lord has chosen to order things differently before His return and it is His authority and right to do so as He determines best. In the LDS church, humility and repentance has been greatly replaced by pride, money and power. When the heavens withdraw, which surely happens to those who quit listening to God, "Amen" to that portion of God's house, but the restoration through the prophet Joseph Smith will always remain.

It may be valuable for us to identify and hear the Lord's voice, recognize His word that often comes from unexpected places, reject false doctrines and agendas as we look around and see what is happening before our very eyes, and correctly identify what is in the Lord's heart today. May we more fully recognize His signs manifested in the heavens and on earth, know the truth by the power of the Holy Ghost, and be committed to His work that is now underway.

“The ends of the earth shall inquire after thy name, and fools shall have thee in derision, and hell shall rage against thee; while the pure in heart, and the wise, and the noble, and the virtuous, shall seek counsel, and authority, and blessings constantly from under thy hand.” (D&C 122:1-2)

Have a great weekend :)
