Moses

I've been thinking a lot about Moses. He was a prophet of God. As prophet, he saw God face to face. What a remarkable spiritual experience! In addition to seeing God, he saw this world and all those who have or will inhabit it. After this amazing experience the Adversary came temping Moses. Initially Moses was able to withstand the temptations because he remembered the vision and the power of God. But after Satan continues to tempt him, "Moses began to fear exceedingly; and as he began to fear, he saw the bitterness of hell" (Moses 1:20). Only when Moses began to listen to the Adversary did he see the bitterness of hell.
Each of us experience miracles. Through these we are able to see the power of God in our own lives. We are strengthened and edified but just as Moses, the Adversary will try to tempt us. He wants us to fall and will do all in his power to make it happen. The Adversary doesn't want us to have eternal happiness. I like what Elder Jeffrey R. Holland said in his talk entitled "Cast Not Away Therefore Your Confidence." He said, "If it was right when you prayed about it and trusted it and lived for it, it is right now. Don't give up when the pressure mounts. Certainly don't give in to that being who is bent on the destruction of your happiness. Face your doubts. Master your fears. 'Cast not away therefore your confidence.' Stay the course and see the beauty of life unfold for you."

Light

Sadly my calla lily died. Cause of death: lack of light.
We are just like my calla lily. We need light. We need light from the sun. Sunlight provides vitamin D which aids in the absorption of calcium, improves the immune system, and reduces stress.
We also need the light from our Savior Jesus Christ. He said, “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” Thanks to our Savior, the Light of the World, we do not have to walk in darkness. He can and does shed light upon our lives. He guides and directs us. We are not without hope, thanks to Him.
