Chapter 11- Follow the Living Prophet
We need to keep our eye on the prophet. We need to listen to his words and follow his council. Each prophet/president "has been uniquely selected for the time and situation which the world and Church need". " If we want to know how well we stand with the Lord then let us ask ourselves how well we stand with His mortal captain- how close do our lives harmonize with the Lord's anointed- the living Prophet- President of the Church, and with the Quorum of the First Presidency."
"The prophet tells us what we need to know, not always what we want to know . . . . How we respond to the words of a living prophet when he tells us what we need to know, but rather not hear, is a test of our faithfulness . . . "
We have the comfort of knowing that the prophet of the Lord will never lead us astray. If we will keep our eyes on the prophet, listening and then heading his council we will be able to survive this world and the storms of life.
What has President Monson told us recently?
