A Desire to Be Led in All Things



We should desire to be led
By the Spirit of the Lord
But, not to the extent of all things
For the deception then it brings


Revelation from God
Is a sacred reality
And as our choices are broad
It must be cherished and used properly

We should study things out
Using God given reasoning powers
That unto good works we're about
Aided by decisions which shower

Then for guidance we should pray
If our solution is on the right track
But, sometimes it doesn't matter the way
And it is for us to decide and to act

But,if we persist in thinking we're pious
And concoct in our minds notions false
Based not on truth but on fantasy's bias-
There to warp our progression till it halts


Elder Dallin H. Oaks
Our Strength Can Become Our Downfall
Ensign, Oct 1994, 11
