Doctrine and Covenants 45:15 -- On Reasoning with the Lord

"Wherefore, hearken and I will reason with you, and I will speak unto you and prophesy, as unto men in days of old."
Doctrine and Covenants 45:15


I really like the idea of talking and reasoning with the Lord as the ancient prophets were able to. The reasoning wasn't about God possibly being wrong, because he never is, but more about a process of understanding, as in Isaiah: "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow..." (Isaiah 1:18). God wants to be able to comfort and explain and show us the right way.

Today, let's counsel and reason with God, listening to and learning from him, and allowing him to lead us to the happy ending he has promised to us if we follow his path.
