from the May 2009 Our Family, excerpt from Divine Service in Tule, p. 29 English edition :
"do not oppose those whom the Lord has given us as vessels of blessing"
I guess I'm not going to reach my goal...
Chief Apostle Leber :
"What is even more important is God's promise to hold our right hand and lead us. That is why," said the Chief Apostle, "the questino is justified: Do you really allow the Lord to lead you?" As positive examples from the Bible, he spoke of Abraham, Joseph, and Moses, all of who permitted the Lord to lead them. In contrast to this, the Chief Apostle also made reference to Korah and his followers, as well as to the rich young man who could not follow the Lord Jesus.
"From this we conclude that if we
* believe the Lord and trust in His loving care,
* fear him,
* are prepared to serve Him,
* do not oppose those whom the Lord has given us as vessels of blessing, and
* are prepared to follow Him
our life will be blessed and we will ultimately reach the goal of our faith," said the Chief Apostle as he concluded his sermon.
"do not oppose those whom the Lord has given us as vessels of blessing"
I guess I'm not going to reach my goal...
