With the loss of another city (Nephihah) to the Lamanites,
Moroni has a rare moment of doubt. He
doubts his peoples’ faithfulness and he doubts his government’s leaders. His chief captains also began to doubt. Like Moroni, there is a lot for us to be
concerned about, nevertheless, this is a time in our history where we must set
aside our anger and doubt. We must pray
for (really, out loud, in church, and in our homes) for God to help our
president and our government. We must
not murmur. Let us be a voice of hope
and faith. This does not mean that we compromise our principles. Truth is truth. But some truths are more important than
others. Let us find a better road. Let us soften our hearts and walk in the
shoes of others before we resort to sarcasm and cynicism. Think of Elder Oak’s advice
about good, better, best. Look beyond
our own littleness of mind to a better way.
