As I was studying in Doctrine and Covenants this morning, I read a familiar scripture that is repeated a lot throughout most of the books of scripture.
"Ask and ye shall receive; knock and it shall be opened unto you." (Doct. & Cov. 49:26)
Normally, I just skim over that kind of verse because it is said so often that I feel like I don't need to read it anymore (as I basically have it memorized). But this time, as I read it, a thought struck me. This could very easily pertain to missionary work. I paused and pondered on the verse.
"Knock and it shall be opened unto you." What if that was referring to missionaries knocking on doors? If we ask in faith for God to lead us to the right places, to someone who needs us, the door will be opened to us and we will be accepted by the right people.
We need to fear as we strive to be the faithful missionaries that follow God's plan in calling His people to Zion, for He will open the doors for us!
Keep smiling,
