Guideposts for Life's Journey | Thomas S. Monson | 2007

On life's journey, these four guideposts will lead us to our heavenly home: glance backwards, look heavenwards, reach outward, and press onward. https://speeches.byu.edu/talks/thomas... "Whatever your future pathway may be, may I suggest to you today four guideposts to assist in your respective journeys through school and through life itself. First: Glance backward. Second: Look heavenward. Third: Reach outward. Fourth: Press onward. Each of us is a runner in the race of life. Comforting is the fact that there are many runners. Reassuring is the knowledge that our Eternal Scorekeeper is understanding. Challenging is the truth that each must run. But you and I do not run alone. We take confidence from the hymn: Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismayed,For I am thy God and will still give thee aid.I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,Upheld by my righteous, . . . omnipotent hand.. . . . . . .The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for reposeI will not, I cannot, desert to his foes;That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,I’ll never, no never, no never forsake!11 Let us shed any thought of failure. Let us discard any habit or trait that may hinder. Let us ever press onward. Let us seek; let us obtain the prize prepared for all—even exaltation in the celestial kingdom of God. Your future is bright. It is challenging. It awaits you. Do not venture forth alone. Minnie Louise Haskins counseled: I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year, “Give me a light, that I may tread safely into the unknown.” And he replied, “Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than a light and safer than a known way.”12 Safe journey, my beloved friends, as you glance backward, look heavenward, reach outward, and press onward and find your way safely home again." - President Monson Thomas S. Monson was first counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when this devotional address was given on 13 November 2007.
