The Blessings of Heaven

There is so much confusion in the world! There are many, many problems that cannot be solved by the wisdom of man. No wonder George Washington and Abraham Lincoln spent much time on their knees. Both of these great men lived during a time of uncertainty where the destiny of our beloved country hung in the balance. George Washington was endowed and guided by our Creator to help establish this great nation that it might be free and independent above all other nations on earth. Abraham Lincoln was endowed and guided by our Creator to keep this nation together and to set a standard of love, kindness and mercy. America is hanging in the balance again. God has said, "Behold, this is a choice land, and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall be free from bondage, and from captivity, and from all other nations under heaven, if they will but serve the God of this land, who is Jesus Christ." (Ether 2:12) He also said "And inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall prosper...". (1 Nephi 2:20)
Some may believe that the answer to our problems as a nation is found in one political party or another. But that isn't true. A battle rages throughout all the earth and it is a battle between good and evil. No amount of political correctness can stem the tide of evil that is washing over us like a gigantic tsunami. God can not lie! Embracing true principles of righteousness and humbly turning to the Lord will work miracles as great as the parting of the Red Sea. The blessings of Heaven would flow down upon us.
Isaiah, a great prophet of the Old Testament, said:

"Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy rereward."
"Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am."
"And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones; and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not."
Isaiah 58: 8, 9, 11

"And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children. "
Isaiah 54:13

I treasure the daily miracles in my life. I am eternally grateful for peace and happiness in my heart. I know that God lives and that He is a wise and loving Father who cares for all His children. May we look to Him as the source of all our blessings.
