I just got back from my presidency meeting, and I have decided what I am going to give my 1st Sunday lesson on this time. It is going to be about MIRACLES. I think we forget to acknowledge the many miracles that happen daily in our lives. Some are itsy bitsy and some are huge. I am going to have some of the sisters in our ward share miracles they have had happen. One sister's son returned back to the church after a few years of inactivity. One sister has survived breast cancer. I know that God's hand has carried us through our lives in small and great ways. My scripture that I am basing it on is Moroni 9:15-21. It is one of the scriptures at the back of our lesson last week.
Moroni 9
15. An now, o all ye that have imagined up unto yourselves a god who can do no miracles, I would ask of you, have all these things passed, of which I have spoken? Has the end come yet? Behold I say unto you, Nay; and god has not ceased to be a God of miracles.
16. Behold, are not the things that God hath wrough marvelous in our eyes? Yea, and who can comprehend the marvelous works of God?
17. Who shall say that it was not a miracle that by his word the heaven and the earth should be; and by the power of his word man was created of the dust of the earth; and by the power of his word have miracles been wrought?
18. And who shall say that Jesus Christ did not do many mighty miracles? And there were many mighty miracles wrought by the hands of the apostles.
19. And if there were miracles wrought then, why has God ceased to be a God of miracles and yet be an unchangeable Being? And behold, I say unto you he changeth not; if so he would cease to be God; and he ceaseth not to be God, and is a God of miracles.
20. And the reason why he ceaseth to do miracles among the children of men is because that they dwindle in unbleief, and depart from the right way, and know not the God in whom they should trust.
21. Behold, I say unto you that whoso believeth in Christ, doubting nothing, whatsoever he shall ask the Father in the name of Christ it shall be granted unto him; and this promise is unto all, even unto the ends of the earth.
