Remembering that our theme this year for Girls Camp is "GPS", well, in 2 Nephi 7:10-11 (this is one of the chapters where Nephi was teaching his people from Isaiah) it says:
10. "Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness and hath no light?"
In other words, when have you ever followed the prophet and found yourself without direction or guidance... lost? Ummm... never.
11. "Behold all ye that kindle fire, that compass (GPS... set your course) yourselves about with sparks (tiny, little, "wanna-be" lights), walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks which ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand-- ye shall lie down in sorrow." (WHOA!)
So, what the Lord is telling us is that if we refuse to follow the Gospel and the prophet's counsel and choose, instead, to do our own thing and make our plans without seeking the Lord's direction, we WILL fail and we WILL regret it... and that's all there is to it. So, how cool is that?!!! Especially considering what we talked about at our last meeting that too often all we see is a tiny, little "wanna-be" spark of what's really going on, and we don't have the full perspective/or the true light (Christ is the Light of the world, right?) to know what our Heavenly Father can see.
Faith is setting our course in faith... knowing that He always has a plan for us... there is always purpose... we will never regret following Him.
