Who art thou?

John 21:12 "Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord."

Simple Statement of Principle: Know the Lord well enough to know when He is taking a hand in your life.

I know that seeing the Lord face to face is not on the agenda of many of our lives', but we can know the Lord and know that He works on our behalf even today, if we take the time to learn who he is. When the day comes I do not want to be one who does not recognize the Lord, like the rich man who turned the beggar Lazarus away. I want to be like these disciples and not need to ask the Lord who He is. But even more than that, right now, today, I want to be able to recognize when the Lord blesses me or intervenes in my behalf. And in order for me to recognize His hand more often, I need to cultivate a personal understanding of who He is, what He stands for, and what He wants. The only way to do that is through prayer, scripture study, going to the temple, and serving others.

President Eyring said, "Have I seen the hand of God reaching out to touch us or our children or our family today? As I kept at it, something began to happen. As I would cast my mind over the day, I would see evidence of what God had done for one of us that I had not recognized in the busy moments of the day. As that happened, and it happened often, I realized that trying to remember had allowed God to show me what He had done."
