You know, when I think about all the revelation, the translation, the restoration of the priesthood, it has happened in this particular place. To me, it is a demonstration that the heavens are open, that our Heavenly Father gives us what we need and does it in miraculous ways, in simple ways. But He does it over and over. Heavenly Father is unfailingly willing to help us to know His will. And He'll reveal it to us whenever we're ready. They're giving away all the secrets of the universe. They are. It takes an inquiring mind, one who's really anxious to know what the truth is. And if you'll ask God with a prayerful heart, with real intent, which means you intend to do whatever the consequences are, that He will manifest the truth of it unto you. And I've had that experience in my own life.

In my earlier life I was a cardiac surgeon. And in the frontiers of that work, there were many occasions when I didn't know what to do. So I just kept asking in prayer. And I came across that passage in the Doctrine and Covenants that says for every kingdom there is a law given. And there's no kingdom without a law. So I thought, Well, maybe if I just understood the law a little better, I could understand how to manipulate. Well, for example, there's a law of gravity that says if you'll turn your garbage can over, the refuse will fall out and go into the collector. But there's also another law that allows us to fly in an airplane, where a big heavy object like a jumbo jet can take off with a load of passengers because of the law of foil and lift. So this concept of law, divine law, is so very helpful. It allows a surgeon to make an operation and know the wound will heal. It allows a woman to make a cake and know that the result will be good because she is obedient to these laws. So there's a law irrevocably decreed, before the foundation of the earth, that whenever a blessing's received from God, it's because of obedience to the law upon which that blessing is predicated. I think of--when you mention that, President, I think of Joseph and Oliver. When they're reading the Book of Mormon, they come across that passage about baptism. They knew that there was a law that needed to be obeyed. But they didn't know quite how to do it. So they went to ask. And when they went to ask, what happened? The restoration of the priesthood so they would have the authority to do baptisms. And every time Joseph followed the law of the Lord, he was given the help that he needed, given those blessings.
