D&C 121:28 -- On Nothing Withheld

"A time to come in the which nothing shall be withheld, whether there be one God or many gods, they shall be manifest."
Doctrine and Covenants 121:28


This is interesting. We have several versions of the creation story and whether the word God is plural or singular changes depending on what version you read... and I think it is kind of cool to say in this verse that we'll understand it all eventually. And also, it sort of implies that that isn't the most crucial question of eternity, which means maybe we spend too much time debating it here. We know that we pray to God, our heavenly father, and we know that Jesus Christ died for our sins and still lives to guide and help us, and that the Holy Ghost helps us every day to recognize truth... maybe we don't need to debate it further. We can just trust God and know that he will answer all of our questions in time.

Today, let's embrace the things that we know and that we have learned from God, and maybe step back and let go of some of our worry about the things that we don't know. Not that we shouldn't be curious and seek answers from the Lord, for sure, but perhaps we can be more patient and more faithful, knowing that God knows what he is doing, even when we don't understand exactly what that is all the time. Someday we will, and until then let's work on our patience and faith and developing our relationship with God.
