In recent days, I've become so aware of how hungry our whole world is for purpose, for peace, and for the leadership of Christ, as I'm sure you have, too. As a young boy, Joseph saw this same yearning in the Christian revival. People in his area sought the Lord, but they also sought personal gain, leadership, and notoriety. Instead of being swept up in the religious fervor, he quietly turned to the scriptures, and came across James 1:5. "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."
Where can I turn for peace? Where is my solace? I'm reminded that while I'm surrounded by amazing leaders, the truthfulness of Christ's gospel, and all kinds of media which I can use to my spiritual advantage, I've also been given the Gift of the Holy Ghost, which entitles me to speak directly with Heavenly Father for revelation, comfort, and love.
