To Hold Sacred

To Hold Sacred - Elder Paul B. Pieper

I was reading this talk recently and was struck by this section:

"The battle for priority between the sacred and the secular in each human heart can be illustrated by Moses’s experience at the burning bush. There Moses received his sacred calling from Jehovah to deliver the children of Israel from bondage. However, initially his worldly knowledge of the power of Egypt and the pharaoh caused him to doubt. Ultimately, Moses exercised faith in the Lord’s word, subjugating his secular knowledge and trusting in the sacred. That trust provided him power to overcome temporal trials and lead Israel out of Egypt."

We have two children and are pondering having another one. From my knowledge of what having two children is like, it seems like it would be crazy to have another one. I have had many doubts as to whether we would be able to handle it. But if the Lord's perspective is different, then it is a situation where we must exercise our faith and trust in the Lord.
