I edited yesterday’s post and got a little carried away…
It is my opportunity and blessing to follow such pure counsel given by many over those two days (of General Conference) and every six months before and since. Each General Conference weekend (5 two hour sessions over Saturday and Sunday, twice a year) provide needed counsel as if from the mouth of Christ himself. This is solid evidence that God has ongoing interest and purpose (as I let Him) in my life. When watched and implemented I partake of ‘living waters’, refreshment to my soul. He is truly mindful of us and speaks clear counsel to the faithful / vulnerable. The real question becomes ‘Am I open to that counsel?’ They never would want me to feel abandoned by them… Will I pay attention, partake and heed their light so given or choose an alternate course. Yes, the standard works of the Church (Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine & Covenants, Pearl of Great Price) are generous examples of God’s caring concern and I can use them daily. In wonderful addition, God also brings revelation into my life through ‘living oracles’, Apostles, Prophets, other inspired leaders, even local leaders. Such on going revelation (along with personal prayer) brings lasting peace and purpose to my life. Conference talks from our Prophets, Apostles, leaders are always available (on the full range of topics and media) by going to General Conference. Heeding such counsel strengthens faith and frees me from a multitude of worldly errors (designed by the adversary to lead to his darkness… I prefer the Light, even God; Thanks be to Him!). kdm
