"And it came to pass when they had arrived in the borders of the land of the Lamanites, that they separated themselves and departed one from another, trusting in the Lord that they should meet again at the close of their harvest; for they supposed that great was the work which they had undertaken."
Alma 17:13
This chapter has a little rewind to help us know what the sons of Mosiah were up to before they ran into Alma again. I really like the way they went forward trusting in God, not knowing ahead of time what would happen and not being able to make specific plans, but knowing that God would help them find each other again, and help them return home as well.
I like that God hears and answers prayers and that we can trust him about things like this that seem perhaps vague and uncertain.
I think there are a lot of things in life that we have to take on faith... not "have to" as in being forced to, but that we have to take on faith in order to have hope in some future event that only God can truly plan for. And the cool thing about that is that he does, and the more we trust in that and work for that future, the more real it is... because we're merging with God's reality, and his plans and timing, and when we're on the same page with God, then everything is working together for our good.
Today, let's work on trusting in God to lead us to good, and on maintaining our connection to his Spirit so that we can weather the sometimes-difficult challenges that we may face on the way.
