"And it came to pass that when they had gathered themselves together that he spake unto them in this wise, saying: O ye, my people, lift up your heads and be comforted; for behold, the time is at hand, or is not far distant, when we shall no longer be in subjection to our enemies, notwithstanding our many strugglings, which have been in vain; yet I trust there remaineth an effectual struggle to be made.
Therefore, lift up your heads, and rejoice, and put your trust in God, in that God who was the God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob; and also, that God who brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, and caused that they should walk through the Red Sea on dry ground, and fed them with manna that they might not perish in the wilderness; and many more things did he do for them."
Mosiah 7:18-19
I like this, not just in context as they were trying to bolster their faith to escape the Lamanites, but also the similar hope that we can have in all of our lives if we put our trust in God. As Limhi reminds us here, God has done miracles in the past, and he can and will do miracles now. We just need to ask, and have patience and faith, and act on the inspiration that God grants us. Today, let's remember the goodness of God and all that he has done for his people in the past, and believe and trust that he will do the same for us, as we have faith in him.
