Freedom to choose

I try to read from the scriptures every morning before I have breakfast. Sometimes it doesn't work out that way. Things unschedled come up so I can't do that. I read from the standard works, which are the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price. Right now I am reading the second book of Samual. Our Sunday school lesson is on the creation and part of that is from the Book of Moses. It tells about the need for a Savior. Lucifer expressed his desire to be the Savior by saying the following:

"Behold, here am I, send me, I will be thy son, and I will redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost, and surely I will do it; wherefore give me thine honor. Moses 4:1

After I read that I made a comparison with our government today.

"Behold here am I, send me to Washington, I will be your president, and I will care for all of our citizens, that one, not one will have any problems, and surely I will do it; give me all power."

Think about what the government is doing now.
