Leadeth them to faith

Helaman 15

"...the holy scriptures, yea, the prophecies of the holy prophets...leadeth them to faith on the Lord..." (v. 7).

I can't help but think right now how important it is for me to have faith in God.

Faith in His plan for my future.
Knowing the way He has it all planned out is most important.

I'm so grateful for a certain phrase in my patriarchal blessing...
It reads, "...give a listening ear to those who preside in authority over you...particularily his prophet..."
And then, "I bless you with the gift of understanding...".

I feel blessed in my life to have a testimony of the scriptures.
To know they guide my life if I pay heed to them.
To trust the counsel I receive from them.
And that I understand them and can apply them.

Just so thankful!
