This weeks primary podcast is about: Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdry receive revelation NOT to retranslate the plates from which the manuscript was stolen.

It might make sense to retranslate that portion, but the Lord saw something they could not: their enemies were planning to alter the words on those pages to cast doubt on Joseph’s inspired work. God had a plan to avoid that problem and keep the work moving forward. Thousands of years earlier, God inspired Nephi to write a second record that covered the same time period “for a wise purpose in Him” (1 Nephi 9:5).

“My wisdom,” the Lord said to Joseph, “is greater than the cunning of the devil” (Doctrine and Covenants 10:43). That’s a reassuring message in a day like ours, when the adversary is intensifying his efforts to weaken faith. Like Joseph, we can be “faithful and continue on” in the work God has called us to do (verse 3). Then we will find that He has already provided a way so that “the gates of hell shall not prevail” against us (verse 69).

The Lord’s “wisdom is greater than the cunning of the devil.”

Nephi didn’t know why he was inspired to make two sets of records of his people. And Mormon didn’t know why he was inspired to include the second set with the gold plates. But both prophets trusted that God had “a wise purpose” (1 Nephi 9:5; Words of Mormon 1:7).

We will also learn about Divine Design reading from accounts in Elder Ronald A. Rasband’s message “By Divine Design”—they might bring examples to your mind (Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2017, 55–57).

And we read from: The Lord’s Hand”

President M. Russell Ballard

A talk given at BYU

He basically tells the story of his ancestor who was on the Mayflower and during a terrible storm fell overboard. As this man was falling he was somehow able to grab onto a rope and hang on for dear life as he was drug through the water until the storm subsided. He now has over 2 million Americans who can trace their lives and genealogy back to him. Including several US Presidents, authors, and even our own prophet Joseph Smith!
