Sabbath Musings

Today in Sacrament Meeting we got a new bishopric.  One of the counselors is moving with his family to Saratoga Springs and so the reorganization was necessary.  The whole Stake Presidency was there and it was a joy to feel the Spirit in the Bishop's decision about his new counselors.  I thought he'd keep the one that was staying but it turned out that they were both released and two new ones put in.  As the new counselors took their seats on the stand, I felt the Spirit and knew that both had been called of God.  As the new second counselor stood to bear his testimony he talked about how it would be easy to get up there and talk about how inadequate he was, but he also knew that this calling came from the Lord, Jesus Christ and to question His authority would be putting the man's will above that of the Lord, the leader of the church.  I had never thought of it quite like that before.  One of my favorite quotes says, "The Lord doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called."  I truly believe that and I decided today that I would strive always to put the will of Heavenly Father above my will, by not questioning what he asks me to do.  I have felt inadequate in most of my callings, but every time I am blessed beyond words as I have done my best to do the Lord's will.  It's a good lesson and I 'm grateful for the reminder today.
