Doctrine and Covenants 3:1ā€“22 | Trusting Godā€™s Wisdom for Personal Revelation and Faith
When Joseph Smith lost the 116 pages of the Book of Mormon manuscript, it wasnā€™t just a personal failureā€”it was a turning point. Doctrine and Covenants 3:1ā€“22 reveals how God responded with both rebuke and reassurance, teaching that His work cannot be stopped by human mistakes. These verses are a reminder that trusting Godā€™s wisdom, even in moments of failure, brings unexpected strength andā€¦

So this conversation... hoo boy, does it pack a punch. I had completely forgotten to think about what Kazuma being alive would mean regarding Herlock until Susato and Ryunosuke brought it up, but... this is a really agonizing betrayal. And even when they confront him on it, he just delays, waits out to see what they know, what he can get away with. So many times he just sits there for a long moment, letting them talk. He asks Susato, "You're quite sure?" He says this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is utterly infuriating. I would lose it here. And it's all the worse because Ryunosuke counters this with nothing but a certainty in Herlock's skills. He had to be lying, because they trust him to have known the truth. They aren't willing to believe that he made a mistake when he announced Kazuma's death, any more than they doubt their own recognition of him actually being alive. The confidence here hurts a lot in context. The friendship with which they approach this conversation. And he never tells them!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm sure the truth will come out eventually, and he'll have had his reasons, but... Ryunosuke has lived with him all along. Susato so clearly admires him so much. They're all friends. And he's seen how deeply they are grieving, he must have, and he's chosen to stay silent all this time. I'm so so impressed again by Ryunosuke and Susato's willingness to extend that trust further, to wait to find out answers.... And then even to continue investigating together with him shortly afterwards. It would be completely understandable if they couldn't. I still feel like they need to get properly angry at him, but maybe they're saving that for after they know the whole situation.

You may have discouraging situations and difficulties coming against you, but God has placed you out of reach. They can't defeat you.
Keep your peace.
You may feel like you're surrounded by an army, but the truth is you're surrounded by God's favor. The forces that are for you are greater than the forces that are against you.
God's got this. He's done it in the past, and He's not going to stop now.

Hebrews 11:1-7 (NASB). ā€œNow faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old gained approval. By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible. By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks. By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; AND HE WAS NOT FOUND BECAUSE GOD TOOK HIM UP; for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God. And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.ā€
ā€œTrust in Godā€ By In Touch Ministries:
ā€œFaith lets us lose our fear and trust God for the impossible.ā€
ā€œFaith isnā€™t a passive belief. Itā€™s an active confidence that stirs within our soulā€”an unwavering trust in Godā€™s promises and a firm conviction about His trustworthiness. When weā€™re surrounded by uncertainty, our faith guides us and illuminates the path.
Verse 1 of todayā€™s passage says, ā€œNow faith is the certainty of things hoped for, a proof of things not seen.ā€ Those words can be viewed as an encouraging invitation to dwell in trust, which steadies the heart and anchors the soul. Theyā€™re also a reminder that our hope rests in a loving and sovereign God.
In times of trials and challenges, faith becomes our refuge, whispering, ā€œDonā€™t be afraid, for God is with you.ā€ It motivates us to step out in obedience, even if doing so seems impossible. And it empowers us to face adversity with courage, knowing that God is working all things together for our good.
The Lord calls us to walk by faith (2 Corinthians 5:7) and surrender our doubts and fears to Him. He wants us to believe His promises, even when circumstances seem bleak; trusting in Him lets us see beyond the visible to the eternal. Then we will find strength, peace, and the presence of our loving God guiding us every step of the way.ā€

Itā€™s 7:30 in the morning and Iā€™m exhausted but I donā€™t know if Iā€™ll be able to fall asleep again any time soonā€¦.
Itā€™s like I was *just* starting to heal from having my heart and trust shattered 3 years ago, and now itā€™s happening all again, only this time I donā€™t have the church to go to for comfort/prayer/encouragement. And instead of a friendship I had for 2-3 years, itā€™s a church Iā€™ve been going to for TWENTY TWO YEARS
I feel like Iā€™m living in the twilight zone, this canā€™t actually be happening, right?
(Iā€™m not okay, I keep crying and I just want to wake up from this nightmare)

RE danganronpa not having the best writing I was talking to a friend the other day about v3 about how it sucks that they set up Kaede to be the protagonist but then killed her off because while yes, Shuichi is a very good protagonist and heā€™s the only one that really gets interesting character development, Kaede could have so easily been an insanely interesting protagonist if she got to live because she has plenty of room to grow since sheā€™s very clearly scared shitless and is deeply insecure about her ability to motivate and lead the group, but she smiles through it and lies about her feelings so much that the player doesnā€™t even know about her creating an elaborate murder scheme. And I realized that the way to keep her as a protagonist is for there to be a way that the first trial ends and someone else is found to be the killer (for example it could be Tsumugi if she werenā€™t the mastermind, or maybe someone else was in the library and killed Rantaro) and they get executed and thats that. Then at the end of the chapter we get a scene where Kaede is alone in her room and sighs in relief as itā€™s revealed that she hatched an elaborate plan to kill the mastermind but she wasnā€™t found guilty, either because she wasnā€™t the actual killer or because she was being protected by the mastermind. And so we the player have to proceed with the new knowledge that Kaede not only wanted to kill someone, she actually went through with a whole plan to kill someone and we didnā€™t even know about it and neither did any of the characters. And Kaede is on edge because on one hand she has to live with the fact that she was perfectly okay becoming a killer and that she failed to kill the mastermind so the game is going to continue and someone else was unlucky and got executed instead of her,but on the other hand sheā€™s relieved that she wasnā€™t the one who died and that she was given another chance to find the true mastermind and no one has to know what she did. And as the game progresses it gets more and more stressful for her because she tries to keep up the positive energy but sheā€™s living with this massive secret and she canā€™t let anyone find out about what she did and she finds herself still wanting to kill the mastermind so we the player donā€™t know how much we can trust Kaede anymore since sheā€™s lying to everyone including us and she can very well kill again if she wants to
#danganronpa#kaede akamatsu#of course we couldnt have something like this happen cuz yay misogyny killed kaede and also like mentioned#dr doesnt have good enough writing to pull this off lol#yttd is at least able to pull something similar off with sara so at least i have that but still god like can you IMAGINE#how good v3 wouldve been if it had done this and like what i think is really fun is like#shuichi figuring it out cuz you know he would hed know in the first trial but in this version doesnt say anything#and he doesnt have to cuz kaede conveniently isnt the culprit#but like now hes stuck with this knowledge that she so easily couldve been#and you know shuichi is just like that last person shed want to know about this#but shed also be eaten alive by guilt from keeping it from him cuz she trusts him most and was the one encouraging him to pursue the truth#even if its unpleasant#so i like to imagine one of two scenarios like either shuichi eventually confronts kaede about this after shes become a bit more corrupt#and he plans to tell and shes forced to kill him to keep her secret#or a scenario where shuichi chooses to protect kaede over the truth and he becomes her accomplice#both scenarios would fuck up kaede quite a bit#and then i guess itd be really interesting to see if she becomes more and more corrupt and eventually does get executed#or if she owns up to her mistakes and decides to reveal her truth that shes actually fucking terrified#and she doesnt have as much control as she wants to and she has no clue if its gonna be okay#i think that would fit so good with the truth/lie theme too#goddddd like im so mad now cuz this is just like so good like why cant dr just be good its so easy

God doesn't allow us to struggle just so that we can struggle. In our struggle, our faith deepens as we actively see the character, the face, and the hand of God actively and personally. In our struggle, we are met with the realizations that God is neither shallow or far away, but that He is awe-inpiring, very present, and deeply committed to us.
Awe-inspiring
[aw-uhn-spigh-uhr-ing]
(adj.) Arousing awe through being impressive, formidable, or magnificent.
Formidable
[for-mi-duh-ble]
(adj.) Inspiring fear or respect through being impressively large, powerful, intense, or capable.
This is literally God. Whatever it is that you may be dealing with, endure it by putting your faith in God. You're in good hands, bro. He's got you covered, sis.
