I wasn’t familiar with this talk until my mom pointed out To Guide Us In These Latter Days in the October 2023 digital version of the Liahona magazine. It’s from Paul V. Johnson’s BYU-H devotional given on Feb. 18, 2020.
Key Points
- When We Follow the Prophet, We Are Blessed
- When Societies Start to Drift, Many Reject the Counsel of Prophets
- We Make a Personal Choice to Follow the Prophet or Not
- Blind Guides Try to Separate Us from Jesus Christ
- Prophets Beckon Us to Come to the Savior
Reflection Questions
What do you learn from President Nelson’s example of following prophets?
How can you soften your heart and be open to correction from prophets? How can that humility bless you?
What “blind guides” do you maybe pay more attention to than the prophets?
This is part of a series sharing talks and resources related to the role of living prophets in our personal lives and in the doctrine of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I attempt to share reliable sources and accurately represent what the Lord and His authorized servants have taught, but my insights are my own and I am not an official Church representative.
