LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF THE SPIRIT

THE VOICE OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS WHAT MATTERS MOST

I have pondered in recent times why the world is so busy, so noisy and why we operate at such a fast face of speed. As I have studied the scriptures I have found an answer to understand why this is this way today. "Satan seeketh to turn their hearts away from the truth, that they become blinded and understand not the things which are prepared for them" (D&C 78:10). "The evil one who seeketh to destroy the souls of men" is the reason why we are caught up in the things of the world. He is the one who hates us more than we can comprehend and wants us to be miserable like he is and will always be. We are bombarded by multitudes of voices telling us how to live, how to gratify our passions, how to have it all.

THE VOICE OF GOD, WHICH IS THE SPIRIT

I have found for myself a simple solution for knowing which voice we should all follow. The voice of the Spirit. This requires patience while the world says 'now!" This solution requires a calm peaceful soul, willing to submit to the God Heaven for aid and guideance. Above all we must LISTEN to that voice which is mentioned to be "a still voice of perfect mildness, as if it had been a whisper, and it did pierce even to the very soul" (Helaman 5:30). As we listen and follow the Spirit we will give us "peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come" (D&C 59:23).


In a world full of noise and many voices, President James E. Faust invites us to listen to and follow the voice of the Spirit, which is calm and quiet and leads to eternal life.
