Helaman 12:1

“. . . yea, we can see that the Lord in his great infinite goodness doth bless and prosper those who put their trust in him.”

Helaman 12 is a chapter that talks about the foolishness and instability of men and how they are quick to do evil. I really like how the first verse of the chapter is one that focuses on trusting the Lord. The first thing you read is the solution to the problems that will be talked about in the chapter. I like this specific verse because I believe whole-heartedly what it is saying. Those who trust in the Lord will be blessed and prosper. Specifically, I think this principle is important to remember when times are not going as smooth as we would like. The Lord knows what the result is going to be so we should trust in him.

One principle or doctrine that I gained from this scripture was the love the Lord has for us. Even though the Lord is far greater and better than us, he cares about us and the choices we make. He cares about each of our desires and intents. All we have to do is trust in the love he has for us and he will take care of us. We are his children and he cares deeply for our well being.

This principle is important for everyone to remember. When you have those times in life when it gets crazy or you feel lonely remember that there is always someone there who loves you deeply. He will bless you significantly if you continually trust in him during the good and bad times of your life because of the love he has for you. Sometimes the craziness of life makes it hard to feel loved and taken care but we need to remember that he is always there and we need to trust him in order to reach our potential as children of God.
