The Holy Ghost

Mark 1:12

12. “And immediately the Spirit

 took Him into the wilderness”

Principle: Go where the Holy Ghost directs you

 I really liked this particular scripture. It says that the Spirit took Him (Christ) into the wilderness. Not only did Christ listen to the Spirit and immediately go where it directed him, but it was, of all places, the wilderness. Sometimes the Holy Ghosts directs us to areas that may seem unpleasant or to places we just don’t want to go. Sometimes that is simply to visit someone who we may not get along with, moving to a place that you don’t want to go, or taking a career path that is the least desirable. However, the Savior went where the Spirit directed him, and likewise we must do the same. The Lord knows what is best for us and if we stay in tune with the Spirit, and follow his guiding path, we will eventually be stronger in our testimony and foundation in the gospel. It might not always be fun (the Savior had the privilege of being tempted by Satan) but in the end it is for our spiritual benefit, growth, and overall wellbeing. We must always listen to the Holy Ghost.
