Wherefore am I thy Servant?

More often than not, there are words in my heart that are hard for me to express. In order for me to say exactly how I am feeling, I write notes, write in my journal, or write another blog post, so that others can know how I truly feel. In this case there are often words left unsaid, feelings left unspoken, and thoughts that gather dust in a lonely corner. 

While reading in Moses chapter 6, I found someone who felt similarly to me:

Moses 6:31 - And when Enoch had heard these words, he bowed himself to the earth, before the Lord, and spake before the Lord, saying: Why is it that I have found favor in thy sight, and am but a lad, and all the people hate me; for I am slow of speech; wherefore am I thy servant?  

32 And the Lord said unto Enoch: Go forth and do as I have commanded thee, and no man shall pierce thee. Open thy mouth, and it shall be filled, and I will give thee utterance, for all flesh is in my hands, and I will do as seemeth me good.

I have the opportunity for a whole 18 months to let myself become as God "seemeth me good." I picture myself, having faith and letting the Lord speak through me as I open my mouth and get to work. In the end, I have faith that I will become the Lord's mouthpiece, not just on my mission, but for the rest of my life.  

Moses 6:47 - And as Enoch spake forth the words of God, the people trembled, and could not stand in his presence. 

Moses 7:13 - And so great was the faith of Enoch that he led the people of God, and their enemies came to battle against them; and he spake the word of the Lord, and the earth trembled, and the mountains fled, even according to his command; and the rivers of water were turned out of their course; and the roar of the lions was heard out of the wilderness; and all nations feared greatly, so powerful was the word of Enoch, and so great was the power of the language which God had given him.

If I have enough faith, when I speak the word of the Lord the earth will tremble, the mountains will flea, and the rivers will turn their course. I don't want another day to go by that I don't express my truest thoughts, my heartfelt gratitude, or my testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ to be unheard. Through my words, I want my heart to be transparent, my voice to ring with clarity, and my spirit to speak through my mortal body.
