What is the most important thing we
need to have in an emergency?
On February 23, 1847, Brigham Young was in Winter Quarters making plans
for the pioneer vanguard group to reach the Salt Lake Valley. Brigham wrote
about a dream in which the Prophet Joseph appeared to him. Brigham Young
told Joseph about how much he missed his companionship, and asked
Joseph why he could not come with him. Joseph told him he would have to
wait. Brigham then asked if Joseph had a message for Saints. Joseph
responded,
"Tell the people to be humble and faithful and sure to keep the Spirit of
the Lord and it will lead them right. Be careful and not turn away the still
small voice; it will teach [you what] to do and where to go;
Tell the brethren if they will follow the Spirit of the Lord they will
go right."
A just man and perfect in his generations, one who walked with
God, was the prophet Noah. Ordained to the priesthood at an early
age, he became a preacher of righteousness and declared the gospel
of Jesus Christ,  teaching faith, repentance, baptism, and the
reception of the Holy Ghost. He warned that failure to heed his
message would bring floods upon those who heard his voice, and yet
they hearkened not to his words.
Noah heeded Gods command to build an ark, that he and
his family might be spared destruction. He followed Gods
instructions to gather into the ark two of every living
creature, that they also might be saved from the
floodwaters.
Noah had the unwavering faith to follow Gods commandments. May we ever
do likewise. May we remember that the wisdom of God ofttimes appears as
foolishness to men; but the greatest lesson we can learn in mortality is that
when God speaks and we obey, we will always be right.
