Wherefore, stand ye in holy places, and be not moved, until the day of the Lord come; for behold, it cometh quickly, saith the Lord. Amen.
It is not enough to have stood in holy places before, you must stand and not be moved.
I simply love what Brigham Young said in one of his discourses.
I have come to this conclusion, which I have preached for years and years and years, and Joseph preached it up to the time of his death, that the people must leave Babylon and confusion behind them, and be the servants and handmaidens of the Lord; they must be His family. They have gathered out from Babylon, and they must prepare themselves to stand in holy places, preparatory to the coming of the Son of Man. I have been watching and waiting, just as steadily, and as earnestly and faithfully as ever a mother watched over an infant child, to see when this people would be ready to receive the doctrine, or the first lessons or revelations given when the Center Stake of Zion was first located to consecrate their property, and be indeed the servants and handmaidens of the Lord, and labor with all their hearts to do His will and build up His kingdom on the earth…
We have to be all in and completely converted unto the Lord. We are gods in embryo, and with that comes the awesome responsibility of actually doing the work to become like God. We must be striving for that goal each and everyday of our lives. President John Taylor put it this way:
God has called us to stand in holy places, and has placed upon us the responsibility of the Priesthood. He expects us to be as true to that Priesthood and to the administration thereof as the Gods are in the eternal worlds.
Wow, what a great quote! Let us all step up our game a bit more and be more aligned with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Let us always stand in holy places and be not moved, no matter what comes our way. Let us always stand for Christ and be a witness of Him in all our thoughts, words, and deeds.
