I will preceed to do a marvellous work
Posted On: 08/18/2008 07:42:32

Isaiah 29:13-14
"Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: Therefore, behold, I will preceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid."

George Albert Smith
George Albert Smith

"We are living in a sick world, in a time when, as we read in the scriptures, the wisdom of the wise shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.  That is the condition of the world today.  The leaders of the nations---many of them---desire to do the thing that will benefit their nation or the group they belong to, but selfishness in many cases characterizes their conduct, and the result is that instead of peace we have sorrow and distress.

"There is only one way.  We can legislate until doomsday but that will not make men righteous.  It will be necessary for people who are in the dark to repent of their sins, correct their lives, and live in such a righteous way that they can enjoy the spirit of our Heavenly Father" (The Teachings of George Albert Smith, p. 184).

Thank you for that powerful statement by President Smith.  We would all do well to heed his counsel!
