General Conference is this weekend and I am looking forward to the spiritual lift the talks and music will provide. Last fall at General Conference, Sister Carol McConkie taught:
In a world threatened by a famine of righteousness and spiritual starvation, we have been commanded to sustain the prophet. As we give heed to, uphold, and affirm prophetic word, we witness that we have the faith to humbly submit to the will, the wisdom, and the timing of the Lord.
We heed prophetic word even when it may seem unreasonable, inconvenient, and uncomfortable. According to the world's standards, following the prophet may be unpopular, politically incorrect, or socially unacceptable.
But following the prophet is always right.
The Lord honors and favors those who will heed prophetic direction.
The words of the prophets are like manna to our souls. When we partake,
we are blessed, protected, and preserved both temporally and spiritually.
