Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. - Gal. 6:7, 9"I wonder if we as a people, as a nation, and as a world community really understand the basic premise [ofT self-reliance," said President Marion G. Romney of the First Presidency during the April 1981 general conference.
"Just as each individual is accountable for his choices and actions in spiritual matters, so also is he accountable in temporal matters. . . . While the Lord will magnify us in both subtle and dramatic ways, he can only guide our footsteps when we move our feet. Ultimately, our own actions determine our blessings or lack of them. It is a direct consequence of both agency and accountability."
