Succor the Weak, Lift Up the Hands Which Hang Down, Strengthen the Feeble Knees
For many years I have had a scripture hanging on my fridge. I love it so much that it kind of has become a guiding path in how I want to live my life. The scripture is Doctrine and Covenants section 81 verse 5. It reads in part:
“Succor the weak, lift up the hands which hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees.”
Tested, Tried, and Proved
One of the most basic questions that probably every person on this planet will ask themselves at some point in their life is “Why am I here on this Earth?” Some people never figure out the answer in their lifetime, and others make answering it their life’s purpose. I am grateful to have the scriptures to help give me guidance when questions like this come to my mind. There are so many that are centered on this topic, and they have given me a lot of comfort
Figuratively Burned to the Ground
While I am not sure the Lord caused the fire to happen, He guided the Prophet to turn it into a temple. I don’t believe Heavenly Father caused me to lose my blog posts. But I do hope that He can help me turn it into something better.
