MOTIVATING FORCES
Tuesday, October 21st, 2008All day I’ve been thinking about what motivates people to build their food storage.
Fear: I’m worried about total economic melt-down.
Experience: I know people in Texas.
Example: My parents had food storage.
Logic: It makes sense to me.
Ease: It simplifies my life.
Obedience: I choose to follow the prophet.
Service: I’ll be ready to help others.
Faith: I believe the prophet is inspired.
Love: I love people and I love the Lord.
I’ve been thinking about what motivates me. Tonight, the force that seems most important is the connection between hearing the words of a prophet and hearing the words of the Holy Ghost. Everything I know about the Gospel says that those blessings are connected. In fact, it seems to me that choosing to follow the prophet, my repentance and compliance, is directly connected to the volume of the still small voice.
Guidance: In difficult times I want more direction.
