Day 10

Hope has sails

1 Nephi 18:8

"Strong winds blew the ship toward
the promised land."

We know the story of Lehi and his family 
The Lord  told him to take his family onto the
ship  they had built.  They loaded their provisions
and began their journey to the promised land.

The strong winds blew rocking the ship.  Nephi's
brothers became wicked turning against him and
disobeying their parents who became very sick. 
Their trials were many. Eventually the story tells us
that Nephi steers the ship to the promised land.

The storm and the trials on the voyage did not
stop the family from arriving to their destination.
Why?  Because it was God's will that they reach
the promised land although they had much to endure
and learn.  

Trust God even in the days of great trial, when the winds
are fierce and the waves seem to rush over you. God turns
those times to glorify Him, and all He has planned for your
life.  Set your sails so that the winds take you to the promises
God has for your life.
