Missionary thoughts

Hey, my name is Elder white, i'm a missionary for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day saints. I love serving the lord in the New York Rochester Mission! I'm a writer, a martial artist, a physics, chemistry, and computer science major; and I just love to learn new things! These are the questions of mine, and i'm sure many other people' souls.

Relying upon the wisdom of God

Sometimes as human beings, we have a tendency to think; I am wise, I've got the power to do this on my own. I know i've been guilty of that in my life. One such lesson we learn in the book of Nephi 9:28 "28 O that cunning plan of the evil one! O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. And they shall perish" Sometimes, I think too often we use our own wisdom to figure out the things of God. James 1:5 As we can see from this scripture, that God will give liberally, or "Freely" he won't hold anything back from you, and he will not upbraid you or "Scold" you. He is the most powerful being in the universe, and yet he's willing to condescend to you and give you answers to your prayers. Its the most wonderful testament to his love, that he is willing to help us, beings who frankly, are unworthy of such assistance. If you don't know anything, like "Is the book of Mormon true"? Do not rely on your own wisdom, or your own supposed wisdom. Trust in god, and trust that he "has all wisdom" as king benjamin in the book of Mormon taught his people. I testify, that if we are willing to do this, then we are able to know the truth of all things. And I say these things in the name of Jesus christ amen.
