Unity <---> Joy

That's what Bonnie Cordon, President of the General Relief Society, spoke about at this past MTC devotional. As I've restarted the Book of Mormon, I love how often Nephi recognizes the Lord in his writings. Do we talk of Christ and rejoice of Christ as the prophets of old did and as a living prophet reminded us to last week? Is the Lord at the center of our thoughts, interactions, and schedules? This week I also learned that when the people of Israel carried the Ark of the Covenant across the River Jordan with the promise of walking on dry land, the water did not part until they got their feet wet. The miracle comes as we hold on to the promises the Lord has made and then act with the faith that they will be fulfilled, even if those promises are not realized when you think you need them nor once you step into unknown, rushing waters.
