"Wherefore, Joseph truly saw our day. And he obtained a promise of the Lord, that out of the fruit of his loins the Lord God would raise up a righteous branch unto the house of Israel; not the Messiah, but a branch which was to be broken off, nevertheless, to be remembered in the covenants of the Lord that the Messiah should be made manifest unto them in the latter days, in the spirit of power, unto the bringing of them out of darkness unto light—yea, out of hidden darkness and out of captivity unto freedom."
2 Nephi 3:5
I like the idea here of obtaining a promise from the Lord. We all have promises from the Lord that are shared with others, but like Joseph we all have the potential to gain additional promises, or glimpses of what God has in store for us, as we develop our relationship with God.
One of the reasons I love this idea is that it helps us focus on those long-term promises, and pulls us out of the day-to-day struggles a little bit, allowing us to see the bigger picture rather than getting stuck in our limited perspective, where short-term setbacks can bog us down.
Today, let's talk to God and maybe discuss that promises that the Lord has in store for us. Let's focus on the future and the bright future that God has in store for all of us, and keep hope burning bright. :)
