"And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain." Isaiah 4:6

Being on the East coast this week has been a wonderful experience. The forecast before we had arrived had been rainy all week, but it has been beautiful weather. Sunny and cooler temperatures, until today, when we had rain and fog and even a little lightening and thunder. There was a little "storm" if you will. It has been so fascinating to me to see the change in weather. I have determined, the forecast is not accurate here at all.

Well, in life, we can't predict the storms that are ahead, and storms are going to come. I am so grateful for a loving Father in Heaven who wants to help us through those storms and therefore gives us guidance to direct us in our daily lives on how to get through the bad weather, hot, cold, rain, wind, whatever may come. This is very simple, because that is how He makes it (see D&C 133:57). This is what He says:

"And all they who receive the oracles of God (the oracles of God are the prophets), let them beware how they hold them lest they are accounted as a light thing, and are brought under condemnation thereby, and stumble and fall when the storms descend, and the winds blow, and the rains descend, and beat upon their house" (D&C 90:5). 

We have prophets who speak to us in our day. We have a living prophet! This is a powerful, incredible blessing to be led by a prophet. He is as Moses, or Abraham, or Jacob or Noah!!! He speaks with God and receives revelation for us in our day. He receives revelation not only for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but for the entire world. He is the Lord's prophet. His name is Thomas S. Monson (to view talks given by President Monson click here). He is also the President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He will speak to us, and so will the 12 apostles, this Saturday and Sunday, October 1st and 2nd during General Conference (View General Conference here).

We can get through the storms of life. We have a prophet who is speaking and revealing to us the will of God. Don't account this as a "light thing". It will save your life, both physically and spiritually. If you are in need of protection from the "heat" or from the "storm and the rain" (see Isaiah 4:6), come listen to a prophets voice, and you will be led to safety and peace. This I testify.
