Merry Christmas. Thank you for listening to this week’s episode of Sharing the Light. My name is Michael Christensen. Your reviews and passing this along to family and friends is greatly appreciated.
I believe in Divine Design. In October 2017, Ronald A Rasband gave a General Conference talk by this title. In that message, he quoted Neal A. Maxwell as follows:
“None of us ever fully utilizes the people-opportunities allocated to us within our circles of friendship. You and I may call these intersectings ‘coincidence.’ This word is understandable for mortals to use, but coincidence is not an appropriate word to describe the workings of an omniscient God. He does not do things by ‘coincidence’ but … by ‘divine design’” (Neal A. Maxwell, Brim with Joy, Brigham Young University devotional, Jan. 23, 1996).
Said Elder Rasband: “Our lives are like a chessboard, and the Lord moves us from one place to another—if we are responsive to spiritual promptings. Looking back, we can see His hand in our lives.”
Elder Bednar has also taught this principle. In his book One by One, he said, “I believe that in the work of the Lord there is no such thing as coincidence,” And “Tender mercies … are frequently delivered one by one through the instrumentality or another person.”
Today, I want to share with you the events of one day I experienced in the mission field. One day filled with Divine Design and Tender Mercies.
