There is a
law regarding exceptions to God’s laws.
The law of exceptions is this:
God will allow exceptions from time to time regarding his laws for the
good of his children. He is the only one
who can grant an exception. For Nephi,
it was the killing of Laban. “Thou shalt not kill,” was going through Nephi’s
mind when the Spirit said, “Behold the Lord slayeth the wicked to bring forth
his righteous purposes.” Jean and I
received an exception when we decided to be married in a civil rather than
temple ceremony. For a wise purpose,
known to Him, he whispered to our hearts a reassurance that he was not opposed
to our decision. We also sought for and
gained approval from our parents, bishop, and stake president. Two months later, we were sealed in the
temple. It was on the anniversary of
Jean’s baptism. You may find that a
situation will arise in your life where you need to petition the Lord for an
exception. Don’t proceed without his
approval. The Spirit will whisper when
the coast is clear.
