"Ye cannot behold with your natural eyes, for the present time, the design of your God concerning those things which shall come hereafter, and the glory which shall follow after much tribulation."
Doctrine and Covenants 58:3
I like the idea here that there is a grand design, which I think we often forget. God knows the end from the beginning. He knows what is to come, and he has prepared for it. Even our poor choices, even today, now, where we are. It is all part of the pattern. All things work together for good, and as we work with God's design, we will be able to find the good all through the weaving of life, and be able to see miracles, and to see our prayers answered with great blessings.
Tribulations will come. Storms and darkness come whether we are sheltered or not, but if we hold fast to God's word and continue in prayer, we will be able to weather any storm, and find shelter and strength in God, in whatever circumstance. Today, let's remember that there is a design... a beautiful, divine pattern that is leading us home, and trust that it will bring us to glory in the end. Let's endure and never give up, as we walk in the secure path of God, despite the storms and the tribulations.
