Come, Follow Me

Transcript

One of the most well-known stories in the Book of Mormon is the story of the two thousand stripling warriors. These warriors consisted of young boys who had never held a weapon up until their first battle. Despite the odds being stacked against them, all two thousand of these men were protected from death due to their faith in the power of God.

In a discourse given in 1881, Wilford Woodruff shared his testimony of the power of God: “We have been sustained by the power of God from the beginning in this day, and nothing short of the power of God could have saved us and brought us through; and nothing but the power of God can preserve us, and nothing but His wisdom can pilot us safe to the high destiny that awaits us.” 

I love Wilford Woodruff’s complete confidence that nothing other than the power of God can preserve us. I also have a testimony of God’s ability to offer us power and save us in any circumstance.
