The journey across the ocean for nearly a year was not easy for the Jaredites. The records tell us that “They were many times buried in the depths of the sea, because of the mountain waves which broke upon them” but also that “the wind did never cease to blow [them] towards the promised land.”
Our days are filled with societal shifts where the headwinds are strong and the seas are turbulent. But we can take comfort in knowing that God has brought us and our children into this world at this time knowing we are strong enough to withstand.
The record in Ether continues, “They were driven forth; and no monster of the sea could break them, neither whale that could mar them; and they did have light continually, whether it was above the water or under the water.”
Through faith in Jesus Christ and choosing to trust in Him and His prophets through revelation in “The Family: A Proclamation to the World“, we too can have light continually, whether above the water or under the water. We can have the assurance that God never does cease to work to bring us and our families toward our heavenly home.
