Signs and Miracles

Working at the church has taught me something. The Savior was given a work to do, it was made manifest in the creation, the organization of matter unorganized, with the express purpose of providing a suitable environment for all of us to experience being mortal. It was made manifest in the creation of every living thing, each in its own sphere. It was made manifest in the crowning event of the first man and women, the first to keep the commandments, to walk after God's commands. It continued through Enoch, Noah through Melchizedek, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Through the House of Israel, all blessings promised. His work continues today. He came to make known the will of the Father, He established his Gospel, in its fullness, in the early days of the 19th century establishing prophets and then apostles, power and authority to bind up through covenant and ordinance all that will come to Him. To what end? To bring to past the glory of God, in other words immortality and the eternal lives of his children. There are those that can organize great, popular, ubiquitous movements, but there are many that can organize very small, seemingly insignificant movements, that change few lives for the better. Too often we consider our ability to be too small, too insignificant when compared to the more acclaimed, but that is the wonder of His work, it happens in small, quiet ways, it happens in each of us. The power and awesome scope of his work is manifest as is happens through us, the manifestation as we become like him because, in small ways, our ways, we do what he would do, what he would have us do. His work moves forward through us today.
