Elder Larry S. Kacher: Triffle Not with Sacred Things
During his talk, Elder Kacher shared a story about a time when he was caught in a rip tide and feared death. He used this story to teach us about the existance of unseen currents in our lives. According to Elder Kacher, "there are many currents in this earthly life—some safe and others not. President Spencer W. Kimball taught that there are powerful forces in our own lives much like the unseen currents of the ocean. These forces are real. We should never ignore them."
He then went on to declare that while there are dangerous currents trying to pull out us to sea, there is also the divine current of the gospel. Brothers and sister, we can trust that current. We may not always understand it, but we can rely on it.
Elder Kacher explained it by quoting President Tanner; "I learned 'how much wiser and better it is for man to accept the simple truths of the gospel … and to accept by faith those things which he … cannot understand'"
Brothers and sisters, we have to trust the Lord. We may not understand everything He does, or every gospel principle or practice, but we can still know the gospel is true. We can ask quetions and search for answers and we can have faith that one day we will understand all.
Until then, trust in the Lord. He is your Heavenly Father and He loves you.
