Scripture Saturday—Mosiah 4:9-10


"Believe in God; believe that he is, and that he created all things, both in heaven and in earth; believe that he has all wisdom, and all power, both in heaven and in earth; believe that man doth not comprehend all the things which the Lord can comprehend. And again, believe that ye must repent of your sins and forsake them, and humble yourselves before God; and ask in sincerity of heart that he would forgive you; and now, if you believe all these things see that ye do them." (Mosiah 4:9-10)
Just because we cannot comprehend God's matchless power does not mean that He does not have matchless power. Faith in Him is so important because we are incapable of making it on our own.
"Believe that God created all things."
Some people try to live without making God a part of their lives. These people are often miserable. They may appear happy on the outside but they feel empty inside.
The antidote to all of our problems is faith in God and His son, Jesus Christ. Faith does not make our problems disappear, but it does make them manageable. Faith inspires hope, and hope gets us through dark, difficult times. 
When we come to know that God is our loving Heavenly Father, that He cares about us and wants us to succeed, then we will do everything we can to serve Him. We will humble ourselves. We will repent of and forsake our sins. We will try to leave each day the way our Father in Heaven would want us to live. And we will look for opportunities to love and serve our fellowmen, because "inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." (Matthew 25:40)
