Talk: President Russell M. Nelson

Now Is the Time

Themes:

• Learning from the past and preparing for the future are important. 
  • But now is the time to learn, repent, bless others and “lift up the hands which hang down.”
• We have received important directions for the future. 
  • My prayer is that the Spirit has spoken to you directly about things the Lord would have you do
• This conference has been a blessing through the prayers, messages and music. 
  • It has also come with important directions for the future. 
    • The future is always uncertain. 
    • Weather, economic cycles, disasters, wars, accidents and illness are unpredictable and can change life quickly. 
    • But there are some things we can control, including how we spend our time each day
• The adversary never sleeps
• There will always be opposition to the truth. 
  • I repeat my urging from this morning to do those things that will increase your positive spiritual momentum, to keep you moving forward through whatever challenges and opportunities come.”
• The shadow on my finger cast (Henry Van Dyke)
  • The shadow by my finger cast

Divides the future from the past:

Before it, sleeps the unborn hour,

In darkness, and beyond thy power.

Behind its unreturning line,

The vanished hour, no longer thine:

One hour alone is in thy hands,-

The NOW on which the shadow stands.

• Now is the time we can learn, repent, and bless others. 
• Do those things that increase positive spiritual momentum.
