HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED...

Have you ever noticed how hard it is to make a BIG decision. Like when the answer probably is jumping out at you but you just can't see it. Or have you noticed when you feel you have made the "right" decision and then everything starts going wrong.

"It seems as though the adversary was aware, at a very early period of my life, that I was destined to prove a disturber and an annoyer of his kingdom; else why should the powers of darkness combine against me? Why the opposition and persecution that arose against me..." Joseph Smith-History 1:20

This scripture may be talking about Joseph Smith and his experience with the adversary during his first vision and early on in his life. But I think it is also talking to all of us. It seems the adversary IS aware when we are a "disturber and an annoyer" of his great plan of distruction. I've never felt such opposition and trouble than when I've been making decisions that lead me closer to my eternal salvation.

But have you ever noticed that once we get past the opposition and persecution, the relief and happiness and peace that overcomes you from making that "right" decision or following that one commandment. I sure have.

So as I continue on in my venture towards eternity I hope I always remember to NOTICE the blaring signs that both the adversary and my Heavenly Father give me that help me realize I'm on the "right" path.
