When the Lord wants to change the world, he doesn't send armies or use powerful groups.
When it was time to lead the children of Israel from Egyptian bondage, the Lord didn't send an army; he sent a baby boy to a Levite home. This baby boy was later to be known as Moses, whom we know as the great lawgiver and the one who delivered the children of Israel from bondage.
In the meridian of time, the Father sent his own Son to be born of a virgin mother in a lowly manger. The whole world was affected by his brief life's mission, and he still remains the only hope of mankind, here and hereafter.
When it was time to restore his gospel to prepare the world for the second coming of his Son, he again sent a baby boy to the home of a righteous father and mother. On 23 December 1805, a baby boy came to the home of Joseph and Lucy Mack Smith. - Rex C. Reeve, “Joseph Smith, the Chosen Instrument,” Ensign (CR) October 1985

Verity of Joseph Smith’s Work
The results of a century and a half of this church offer great authentication to the truthfulness of Joseph Smith's story. The work of this church moves forward in an astonishing way. The great body of the Latter-day Saints remain faithful to their testimonies of Joseph Smith and his work. Since Joseph's day, millions have accepted by faith and have had confirmed by the Holy Spirit that Joseph's account of seeing the Father and the Son is true and that he restored to earth the pure gospel of Jesus Christ. - James E. Faust, “The Expanding Inheritance from Joseph Smith,” Ensign (CR) October 1981

Find the Power
“Find the Power” from Afterglow – Best of Afterglow – Volume 2 (LDSAudio)
I look around and see what I’ve been given
And to think about the ones before
who gave their lives and died for the cause.I think about this blessed restoration
And the truth that’s come from heaven
with the power to change the lives of this world.Here we are in a time of revelation
With the answers we can give the world
to the questions of just why they are here.Who are we to dismiss this charge to others?
It’s a sacred obligation
and a privilege to be helping the Lord.Find the Power that you have in your heart.
There’s a stone rolling forward, it’s the nation of God.
For the battle is raging and the armor is strong.
The Enemy is losing, who’s side are you on?Take a stand with the author of salvation
And choose your destination
by remembering where it is you belong.Move ahead with a strong determination
Giving heed to the direction
and obeying the commands of the Lord.Find the Power that you have in your heart.
There’s a stone rolling forward, it’s the nation of God.
For the battle is raging and the armor is strong.
The Enemy is losing, who’s side are you on?
I really like this song because it helps me remember who I am and what it is that I am doing. We are engaged in this great and amazing work! We can never forget that!! Never!! ~ The Husband
