As I was driving home this week from work listening to all the doom and gloom on the radio about the turbulence of the economy, I looked up at the beautiful and majestic mountains, with all their autumn colors shining brightly in the evening sun, and thought to myself, “No matter what happens today in the economy, tomorrow, those mountains will still be there in all their beauty.” Though times may be difficult and the financial markets are unstable, the mountains are a symbol of the everlasting gospel, built on the Rock, Jesus Christ. Elder Uchtdorf said, “The core of the gospel, the doctrine and principles will never change. Living according to the gospel principles will bring power, strength, and spiritual self-reliance into the lives of all Latter-day Saints.” Though we live in unstable times, we can look up at the mountains as a reminder of the truly important things in life that are everlasting, like the gospel, families, and our Lord Jesus Christ, the creator of the earth.
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, that this is my doctrine, and whoso buildeth upon this buildeth upon my rock, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against them." 3 Nephi 11:39
It's comforting to know that whatever happens with the elections, whatever happens with the economy, we can turn to eternal things, things that are everlasting, for true hope and happiness.
