"Therefore there was a law given them, yea, a law of performances and of ordinances, a law which they were to observe strictly from day to day, to keep them in remembrance of God and their duty towards him.
But behold, I say unto you, that all these things were types of things to come."
Mosiah 13:30-31
I like that God uses symbolism to teach us. We don't always get it at first, but once we have the scripture stories stuck in our heads, it is easier for us to see how they connect to our lives, and to the world around us, and we see how well God prepares us for not only events in our personal lives, but for larger world events.
Today, let's think about what we read and liken the scriptures unto ourselves, thinking of how they relate to our lives and help us prepare for normal events, but also for the Second Coming and for the restoration of all things, and bring us closer and closer to God as we learn and understand more and more. Let's remember and look to God for help seeing the threads of his plan, and how to do his will.
