Spiritual Sunday-the Future is as Bright as Your Faith

I Nephi 4:6

"And I was led by the Spirit, not knowing beforehand the things which I should do."

This spiritual sunday post is going to be about faith. But not just any faith, faith for the future.

Hymns 153 reads "In the innocence of youth, we would all thy laws fulfill. Lead us in the way of truth, give us strength to do thy will."

There seems to be so much uncertainty around me. People wondering about their future, planning their future, changing their plans. It's very hard for me to think of what I want to be when I grow up. All I know is I want to make a difference of some kind to a world that seems so lost, I want to be a light. 

Today while reading the New Era I came across that scripture 1 Nephi 4:6. I realized then that I did not need to know my future, I just needed to follow the Spirit. "Heavenly Father has great trust and confidence in you and has and important mission for you to fulfill. He will help you as you turn to Him in prayer, listen for the promptings of the Spirit, obey the commandments, and keep the covenants that you have made." -Fulfilling Your Duty to God.

I know that His grace is sufficient to make more out of my life than I can ever dream to make out of it. All i can do is try and prepare for the future, by following His commandments and trying to better love and serve others. If I have faith in Him, I know that my future will be bright. 

"All our follies, Lord forgive. Keep us from temptations free. Help us ever more to live lives of holiness to thee." (Hymns 153)

Amen.
