We all know that human
judgment and logical thinking will not be enough to get
answers to the questions that matter most in life. We need revelation from God. And we will need not just one
revelation in a time of stress, but we need a constantly
renewed stream. We need not just one flash
of light and comfort, but we need the
continuing blessing of communication with God. The very existence of the
Church stems from a young boy knowing that was true. Young Joseph Smith knew
that he could not of himself know which church to join. So he asked of God, as the book
of James told him he could. God the Father and
His Beloved Son appeared in a grove of trees. They answered the question
that was beyond Joseph's power to resolve. Not only was he
then called of God to establish the true
Church of Jesus Christ, but it was restored,
and with it the power to invoke the Holy Ghost,
that revelation from God could be continuous.
