D&C 80:3 -- On Going Forth

"Wherefore, go ye and preach my gospel, whether to the north or to the south, to the east or to the west, it mattereth not, for ye cannot go amiss."
Doctrine and Covenants 80:3


David Bednar mentioned this scripture today in a meeting that I attended, and I really liked the idea that he pointed out here, that God is just asking people to move. The direction doesn't matter, because if they are going with the Spirit and communicating with God, he will lead them along, and there is likely plenty of God's work to be done everywhere. :)

I kind of love the idea of not being able to fail/go the wrong direction ("ye cannot go amiss"), as long as we are doing what the Lord asks. It makes all of it a little less scary, right? We can choose whatever direction we want to help, and God will help us get where we need to go. Today, let's go forth to do God's will, and trust God to teach us the way, and to guide us to where we can do good.
