The Lord Will Provide

One cool thing I have learned about God is that He knows our needs and that as we try to do the right things in our lives he will provide for those needs. Over the past few days I have really noticed this.
The first case took place in Tompkinsville, KY on Easter Sunday. We went up there for a baptism and church. Well at church we happened to meet a sweet guy. He told us how he has been reading the scriptures like crazy. As he has been reading the scriptures he as seen God leading him more in his life. (It is like the promise found in 2 Ne. 32:3). He also came to know that the Book of Mormon is true (Just like it promises in the Introduction (Second to last paragraph) and Moro. 10:4-5). He asked if he could meet with us. So we set up an appointment for after church. During our discussion he told us a pretty cool story. He told us that his first time at church he just felt so peaceful and comforted that he is at the right place. This was the spirit teaching him of truth and God's will for him (Galatians 5). Then he told us that on the ride home he was talking with his wife and told her that he wanted to meet with the missionaries. She didn't know of any missionaries in the area. Well the next Sunday he was able to make it to church there we were. It was way cool that the Lord knew of this guys need and desire to meet with us and provided a way for us to get in contact with each other.

The second instance this week took place in Shelbyville, TN on Wednesday. It was a way stormy day. There were a lot of tornadoes that caused some pretty bad destruction around the southern United States. We were out sharing the gospel doing our thing. Since we travel around a lot we have no home to seek refuge in and no keys to get into the church buildings. We also don't watch TV or listen to the radio so we really didn't know what was going on. So we just went about our day going from appointment to appointment and trying random people. To make a long story short the Lord protected us through out the day. We were able to teach some lessons and get around with out being stopped by the wind, rain, or flooding. I know that the Lord provided us with safety. I know that it is because we are doing the Lords work.

I know that if anyone and everyone reads the Book of Mormon with an open heart they will come to know the truthfulness of it. I know the Book of Mormon will change everyone's life for the better and bring them closer to God. All we have to do is have faith and an open heart. Then we have to take the time to read it, think about it, and then pray and ask God if it is true. I know that the Holy Ghost will come to testify of its truthfulness. The Holy Ghost will come as the still small voice and the good feelings that lift us up. I know that God loves each and everyone of us and that he will provide for our needs as we exercise faith by following his commandments. The Book of Mormon and Bible teach us of many cause of that. We just have to read and apply the things we learn. So go to http://www.mormon.org/ and request to have missionaries come visit you today. It will change your life for the better.
