And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is
upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son
of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when
the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his
shafts in the whirlwind, yea when all his hail and his
mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no
power over you to drag you down to the gulf of
misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon
which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a
foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.
I am not usually good at remembering actual scripture references. I tend to remember the words and sometimes need to look them up in the index to find out where they actually are. As I was thinking through the scriptures I wanted to use for the week, I was thinking in terms of the words and phrases that make them up. I had several that I was considering, including this one.
When Sunday night came, I was still undecided, so I said a short prayer to ask if there was one I should focus on specifically. In my mind, came "Helaman 5:12" almost immediately. Because I am not always good with references, I had to actually go and look it up before I knew which one it was.
It was a simple experience, but also a testimony to me that prayers do get answered, and that the Spirit has the power to bring all things to our remembrance. This includes scripture references.
