We do not govern God’s timetable

by 높은산 언덕위 2022. 3. 7.

One principle we can learn from Jacob blessing his sons is that patriarchal blessings are prophecies concerning our earthly and eternal possibilities.

President Thomas S. Monson spoke of the eternal nature of patriarchal blessings: “A patriarchal blessing is a revelation to the recipient,  to protect, inspire, and motivate activity and righteousness. A patriarchal blessing literally contains chapters from your book of eternal possibilities. I say eternal, for just as life is eternal, so is a patriarchal blessing. What may not come to fulfillment in this life may occur in the next. We do not govern God’s timetable” (“Your Patriarchal Blessing: A Liahona of Light,” Ensign, Nov. 1986, 66).
