Have you ever been reading the scriptures and realize that everything totally went over your head? I know I have. It's hard to fully grasp what you're reading when it's caught up in parables, analogies, and symbols. Wouldn't it be nice if we had scripture that was in our own modern day language instead of that old scriptural language? Turns out, there is. We can hear a prophets voice even today.
Just like in Biblical times, God calls prophets today. Every 6 months, the prophet and the apostles speak to us in an event called General Conference. It almost seems too good to be true, but it's real, and it's amazing. Amos 3:7 reads, "Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets." This pattern has always been in effect. God has called prophets on the earth since the beginning of time, and that is how he has revealed his secrets.
So take the opportunity to listen to conference. This is truly no ordinary blessing. If we take heed to the prophets of the past as well as present, then we will have increased happisness, more trust in the Lord, and a more satisfying life.
