As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, we have the special opportunity to be from the lineage of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. With this comes the blessings and promises that were given to them in their day, from the lord. One of the things promised to Abraham is his seed would be as numerous as the sands of the sea. This promise was given to him when he did not have any children and he was aged in years. That promise didn’t happen overnight and it didn’t even happen in even Abraham’s children’s, children’s lives, and now thousands of years later, his seed I truly as numerous as the sands of the sea. We as members of the church are all either directly related or adopted into the lineage of Abraham.
As seen with the people of Alma and with Abraham, when the lord makes a promise he keeps it. The answer to that promise may not be in the time frame or in the package we think it will come in, but god would not be god if he did not keep the promises he has made with his children. At times that is all one may have to hold onto but it can be a glimmer hope in the dark of the night. The lord has promised everyone who lives righteously and keeps the commandments of the lord will have an eternal increase. Whether that is in our life time or in the next life, that is up to the lord, but one thing to remember is found in Mosiah 23:22, “-whosoever putteth his trust in him (the lord) the same shall be lifted up at the last days.”
May we be as the people of Alma, continually praying in our hearts for deliverance and putting our utmost faith in our savior Jesus Christ. Know that one day we will be delivered from out bondages, particularly the one of infertility, and we too will be as the people of Zarahemla, “…when they beheld those that had been delivered out of bondage they were filled with exceedingly great joy.” (mosiah 25:8).
