Of a prominent early investigator of the restored Church, who covenanted that he would obey any command that the Lord would give him, it was said, "And he received the word with gladness, but straightway Satan tempted him; ... and the cares of the world caused him to reject the word." Contrast that with the Lord's clear statement: "He that receiveth my law and doeth it, the same is my disciple." Many of us want the simple way--the process that will not require serious work and sacrifice. Well, I once thought I found it. Driving in the back of a verdant valley above the city of Honolulu, I looked up, and there it was: Easy Street! As I was dreaming of the life-changing benefits of my discovery, I took out my camera to record the blissful moment. Looking through the viewfinder, however, my focus literally and figuratively became clear. A large yellow sign returned me to reality--Easy Street was a dead end! Now is the time to exercise our faith. Now is the time to commit to righteousness. Now is the time to do whatever is required to resolve our undesired circumstances. Now is the time to reconcile with God through the merciful process of change afforded us by the Redeemer of mankind.
