While serving a mission in Spain for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints I spoke to my fellow missionaries and asked them a question. How many of you believe the scripture from the Book of Mormon that I am about to read?
It was not clear to them how they should respond. They had not heard the scripture read and so were tentative to open their hearts to the idea that they just automatically would believe. I reminded them again that this was a scripture from the Book of Mormon and by virtue of that fact they should all be raising their hands. They did so as they understood my intentions were not malicious but faith-promoting.
The scripture I read to them is one that I wish played more of a role in my life today and is one that I wrote about recently.
For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and I work not among the children of men save it be according to their faith. - 2 Nephi 27:23
We need miracles, today more than ever because yesterday is gone and tomorrow may not come. As we reach out in faith and trust the promises made in scripture we can see miracles in our day like prophets of old.
