The Scriptures all begin with a People embarking on a journey into the wilderness. Yesterday we were reading the Scriptures with our children and talking about the children of Israel. We talked about their journey in the wilderness for 40 years. We like the children of Israel are in the wilderness with the desire to go to the promised land which is eternal life with our father in heaven. Join me today as I share different individuals who took their families into the wilderness and the things that they used to provide light as they made their journey.
Elder Holland, October 2008 “In the course of life all of us spend time in “dark and dreary” places, wildernesses, circumstances of sorrow or fear or discouragement. Our present day is filled with global distress over financial crises, energy problems, terrorist attacks, and natural calamities. These translate into individual and family concerns not only about homes in which to live and food available to eat but also about the ultimate safety and well-being of our children and the latter-day prophecies about our planet. More serious than these—and sometimes related to them—are matters of ethical, moral, and spiritual decay seen in populations large and small, at home and abroad. But I testify that angels are still sent to help us, even as they were sent to help Adam and Eve, to help the prophets, and indeed to help the Savior of the world Himself. Matthew records in his gospel that after Satan had tempted Christ in the wilderness “angels came and ministered unto him.” Even the Son of God, a God Himself, had need for heavenly comfort during His sojourn in mortality. And so such ministrations will be to the righteous until the end of time. I ask everyone within the sound of my voice to take heart, be filled with faith, and remember the Lord has said He “would fight [our] battles, [our] children’s battles, and [the battles of our] children’s children.” And what do we do to merit such a defense? We are to “search diligently, pray always, and be believing[. Then] all things shall work together for [our] good, if [we] walk uprightly and remember the covenant wherewith [we] have covenanted.” The latter days are not a time to fear and tremble. They are a time to be believing and remember our covenants.”
Exodus 14: “And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day 14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace
