Joseph Smith received Section 45 of the Doctrine and Covenants at a time when many were not investigating the Church because of some rumors and misunderstanding about the Church. I don’t know if the Saints were discouraged or what, but the Lord gave them a little glimpse into what lay ahead for them.
A Glimpse of What Lies Ahead
In verse 62, He promised:
“For verily I say unto you, that great things await you;” (D&C 45:62).
I love the simplicity of that promise.
Great things await you.
Promises Meant for You
The Lord has things in store for you. Great things.
Some of those things are found in the scriptures and available to all of us. Some of those things will be a result of faithful missionary service. Some of those things will be specific to you found in your patriarchal blessing.
Regardless of where you will find the promises in store for YOU, remember this: God desires to bless you.
He Knows Your Potential
He knew you before. He knows you now. And He knows your potential.
Sometimes we can only see what is happening right now. God sees what lies ahead.
Great things await you!
So, go and get them!
Grounded and Reaching High
- Main idea: God sees beyond your present circumstances. His promises remind you that your story is still unfolding and that truly great things await you.
- Practical takeaway:Study the promises God has given in scripture and your patriarchal blessing, then move forward faithfully and do your part each day.
- One question to ponder: What promise from God could help me look beyond today’s uncertainty and move forward with greater faith, courage, confidence, and hope?
