May God bless us, my brothers and sisters, that we may trust in God and keep his commandments. That is all the Lord expects of us. Joy and happiness will enter our hearts as we do so. It is the wicked who flee when no man pursueth. The righteous are bold as a lion. People who live righteously have nothing to fear. In spite of the turmoil, anxiety, and insecurity which may seem to be everywhere we will be able to stand erect and go forward with courage and faith. We must not compromise with evil. “They enslave their children’s children who make compromise with sin.” (James Russell Lowell) – Ezra Taft Benson, “Conference Report,” October 1950, Afternoon Meeting, p.148
