Trust in the Lord

Today we had a wonderful Sacrament Meeting! We have two marvelous speakers - I think they were related - Sarah Cornwall and Bishop Cornwall. They both talked about Trusting in the Lord. Sarah used Proverbs 3:5-6 as the basis of her talk. She used the story of Elijah and the widow of Zarapheth both exhibiting Trust in the Lord. Sister Laurel Lawrence - the wife of our visiting General Authority Larry Lawrence last fall said that every story in the scriptures is really about Trusting in the Lord. Sarah talked about as youth following the "For the Strength of Youth" booklet for youth these days is really an act of faith. Dad was truly masterful using the Psalm of Nephi in 2 Nephi chapter 4 and how so many of people in the Book of Mormon showed Trust. He counseled us to build a foundation to be able to trust. Those foundational steps were

1. Know and Do His Words
2. Pray morning and Night
3. Humility
4. Contrite and open to Lord's Spirit

The blessings that we will feel if we do Trust in the Lord are:
1. Christlike Love
2. Confounding of Enemies
3. Have the Lord's Messengers minister to us and carry us to a high mountain.
I hope this family can take this patriarch's advice. The blessings are just too good to pass on.
