A reminder that there is a time, season, and reason for everything. We need to take things in context and think them through, with the Lord's help, to make the best decision. Compare these two verses:
"And now let us pacify the king, and we fulfil the aoath which we have made unto him; for it is better that we should be in bondage than that we should lose our blives; therefore, let us put a stop to the shedding of so much blood." (Mosiah 20:23)
"Behold the Lord slayeth the wicked to bring forth his righteous purposes. It is better that one man should perish than that a nation should dwindle and perish in unbelief." (1 Nephi 4:13)
Now we find ourselves, in 2012, in turmoil as a people, a nation, a world. What do you think we can take from these two verses to help us decide what to do next?
