What will happen with many latter-Day Saints if all forms of communication are down, including the internet and phones, and they can’t be “told what to do” in times of trouble?
What will happen to them? Is that when they will start asking God what’s good for them and their families, especially concerning health and safety?
Will they wait to hear what their Elders Quorum President tells them to do about their families bodies?
Will they only listen to the bishop to command them what to do for their children’s health?
What if there’s no bishop? Is the 2nd counselor now in charge of your body and health?
Do you think the Bishopric will even want that responsibility? Or do you think they will say “Pray about it!”
Or could it just be that God put you in charge and gave YOU stewardship over the health and safety of you and your children?
What if besides an immune system, God also blessed us with common sense? For example, knowing in our critical thinking minds we STILL have a 99.8% survivability rate for you, and a 99.997% survivability rate for your children with this virus and all its variants?
Jeffrey Holland posted last year these words that really stuck out when I read them, “The time will come when you won’t have immediate association with each other.” What does that mean? I say these things to get people to think about true possibilities.
God created man to be free to act in doctrine (truth); And when we know something is true, but we don’t act, or wait to be told what to do, are we really living up to our God given potential with the decisions we are commanded to make?
In the Doctrine in Covenants section 58 we read..
26 For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward.
27 Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;
28 For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in nowise lose their reward.
29 But he that doeth not anything until he is commanded, and receiveth a commandment with doubtful heart, and keepeth it with slothfulness, the same is damned.
So again, what happens if we don’t have a prophet to be told what to do? Or what a world government leader may tell the prophet what we should do? What will we do then? Wait to be saved? What if we really do need to Hear Him?
