As we are now in the promised land, I desire to remind all those reading this blog of the great things the Lord has done for my family in bringing us out of Jerusalem. Although our rebellion on the waters could and should have been reason for us to have been swallowed up in the sea, the Lord showed us mercy and spared our lives. Although we, from time to time, wavered in our absolute faith in the power of our God, we have been forgiven time and again. It is only due to the great mercy of the Lord that we have been led to this great land. I fear I cannot actually express how great the Lord has been to my family, yet I strive to testify of His great goodness.
Most of all, how great His goodness to bring us out of Jerusalem.
I have seen a vision in which I now know that Jerusalem is destroyed. If we had remained in Jerusalem, we too would have been destroyed. Only because we obeyed the warning to flee out of Jerusalem are we preserved and have been led to this promised land.
If only we will always hearken to the warnings of the Lord.
(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 1:1 – 4)
