The Divine Genius of the Lord’s Church
God
is weaving His tapestry according to His own grand design.
From
“He Slumbers Not, nor Sleeps,” Ensign, May 1983,
5–8. Punctuation and capitalization standardized.
"The
divine genius of the organization of this work and of calls to
leadership is evident. The General Authorities are all individuals,
each with his own personality. Each brings to his responsibilities a
wide variety of experience and background. When matters come up for
discussion in the leading councils of the Church, each is free to
express his views. As one observes that interesting process at work,
it is fascinating to witness the power of the Holy Spirit influence
these men. Initial differences never sharp but nonetheless
perceptible soften and meld into an expression of unity. “My house
is a house of order,” said the Lord (see D&C
132:8).
In witnessing this process at work, I experience a constant renewal
of faith. …
Some
express concern that the President of the Church is likely always to
be a rather elderly man, to which my response is, “What a
blessing!” The work in this dispensation was first put in place
through the instrumentality of the Prophet Joseph
Smith.
He was at the time young and vigorous, one whose mind was not set in
the traditions of his day. His was a youthful mind which the Lord
could mold as fresh, moist clay as He initiated His work.
Joseph’s
successor was relatively young when he was faced with the terrible
responsibility of leading an entire people across the wilderness to
pioneer a new land.
But
the basics of our doctrine are now well in place, and we are firmly
established as a people, at least until the Lord should mandate
another move. We do not need innovation. We need devotion in
adherence to divinely spoken principles. We need loyalty to our
leader, whom God has appointed. He is our prophet, our seer and
revelator. We shall never be left without a prophet if we will live
worthy of one. He does not need to be youthful. He has and will
continue to have younger men to travel over the earth in the work of
the ministry. He is the presiding high priest, the repository of all
of the keys of the holy priesthood, and the voice of revelation from
God to His people.
To
my mind there is something tremendously reassuring in knowing that
for the foreseeable future we shall have a President who has been
disciplined and schooled, tried and tested, whose fidelity to the
work and whose integrity in the cause have been tempered in the forge
of service, whose faith has matured, and whose nearness to God has
been cultivated over a period of many years. …
