Doctrine and Covenants 84:88

"I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up."

Spiritual blindness can prevent us from seeing how God is a God of miracles. It has always been so. Like the widow's oil, when we pour out from emptiness we exercise our faith in Christ, we as a child approach him to fill our cup and multiply even our smallest offerings.

Great miracles occur from these quiet and small efforts on our part...the unnoticed acts of kindness we give to others... the gentle and quiet pleadings that echo through the stillness of the night... when our tears soak our pillow at night.... He is listening ... He is working out a way for us to overcome... our God of miracles.. He is as close to us, as our heartbeat... as close to us, as our next breath... trust in Him.

Every time we salute the flag, every time we stand up for freedom, every time we defend truth, America roars back to life. In anticipation of 250 years of this great nation, my hope is that we choose to light the spark that turns embers into wildfires. That we unite and echo the words of John Adams when he said, “I am a revolutionary so my son can be a farmer, so his son can be a poet—but first we must be Americans.”

Let your heart therefore be perfect with the Lord our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day. 1 Kings 8:61

Choose God-given strengths and past spiritual experiences over other people's methods, worldly power, or things that don't fit. Trust the Lord that He has already equipped you with what you need. Your faith.

Learn to make things happen through the power of your faith.

In 1 Samuel 8 we learn that the Israelites made the choice to reject the Lord and instead follow the influences that were competing for their hearts, their attention and allegiance was not to the Lord, not to recognize Him as their King but rather they chose to be ruled by man.

Because they chose not the Lord to rule over them, instead they would be given what they asked for; a king, which would rule over them in tyranny.

How to recognize the Lord's voice

The Book of Judges follows a history of the twelve judges which falls into a succession of periods of rebellion against God, and the oppressions and deliverances by which they are followed.
