I was reminded last week that our Heavenly Father is a God of miracles. In Mosiah 28, we learn about the four sons of Mosiah asking their dad if they can go on a mission to the Lamanites. They had absolutely no guarantees that this mission would be successful. In fact, there was a much higher likelihood that it would fail, given the animosity between the Nephites and the Lamanites, and the Lamanite's inclination to reject the Lord's teachings at that time. So what prompted such a desire from these four recent converts themselves, to do something so hard, uncertain, risky, with no guarantees of safety or positive results?
They weren't focused on any possible negative outcomes, only on the possibility of miracles. They knew that God was capable of miracles, because they had just been recipients of His miraculous power of deliverance and healing. And so that was their focus.
This was so instructive and comforting to me this week, as I hope for my own personal miracles, and have often been discouraged by thoughts of negative outcomes.
Focus on the possibility of miracles! God is already working them out!
