How good is the Lord to us?
I don’t think we could measure His goodness, but the scriptures are full
of snippets that help us to understand it to a degree. In Helaman’s letter to Moroni, he described a
situation that was desperate with the odds really stacked against his
soldiers. The government had delayed in
sending further provisions to the struggling men. As they waited, the army “did pour out [their]
souls in prayer to God, that he would strengthen [them] and deliver [them] out
of the hands of their enemies” (v. 10).
And now, observe the Lord’s goodness in verse 11: “the Lord our God did
visit us with assurances that he would deliver us; yea, insomuch that he did
speak peace to our souls, and did grant unto us great faith, and did cause us
that we should hope for our deliverance in him.”
Peace during war! The Lord is very good to us! Many times in our lives it is necessary for us to wait. Helaman’s example shows us that, for the asking, the Lord is willing to help us through those waiting periods.
