Today's Favorite Verse: Doctrine & Covenants 22:4

"Wherefore, enter ye in at the gate, as I have commanded, and seek not to counsel your God. Amen."

This chapter was written 10 days after the organization of the church. Those that had been baptized previously questioned why they needed to be baptized again into the church. It is explained, but I find it interesting that even from the beginning of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ there have been people that continue to try and counsel God on the way things are done. Of us, it is required to have faith that God knows what he is doing and has seen the end from the beginning. It makes me think of this recent quote in General Conference.

"There are still a lot of unknowns about this virus. But if there is one thing I do know, it is that this virus did not catch Heavenly Father by surprise. He did not have to muster additional battalions of angels, call emergency meetings, or divert resources from the world-creation division to handle an unexpected need. My message today is that even though this pandemic is not what we wanted or expected, God has prepared His children and His Church for this time."

(Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "God Will Do Something Unimaginable", Oct 2020 General Conference)
