Faith Amidst Troubled Waters

Written by Joseph Smith, the Standard of Truth stands as a promise from the Lord that his work will go forth, and that this dispensation, the dispensation of the fullness of times, will not end in apostasy but in his coming to declare that his work is done.

"The Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done." (History of the Church, 4:540)

And as evidence of his work progressing: A Stake is organized in India!

This is strong evidence that the Lords work will progress, and nothing can stop it. Even the political unrest that is becoming more and more prevalent across the globe cannon stop the gospel from "penetrating every continent, sweeping every country and sounding in every ear". I am grateful for testimony that helps me to face the fear and uncertainty of our nation and of the world. And for a wife who reminds me when I need it.
