July 14–20: “I Will Lead You Along”
Doctrine and Covenants 77–80
Less than two years after the Church of Jesus Christ was restored, it had more than 2,000 members and was growing quickly. In March 1832, Joseph Smith met with other Church leaders “to discuss Church business”: the need to publish revelations, purchase land to gather on, and care for the poor (see Doctrine and Covenants 78, section heading). To meet these needs, the Lord called on a small number of Church leaders to form the United Firm, a group that would join their efforts to “advance the cause” of the Lord (verse 4) in these areas. But even in such administrative matters, the Lord focused on the things of eternity. Ultimately, the purpose of a printing press or a storehouse—like everything else in God’s kingdom—is to prepare His children to receive “a place in the celestial world” and “the riches of eternity” (verses 7, 18). And if those blessings are hard to comprehend right now, in the midst of the busyness of daily life, He reassures us, “Be of good cheer, for I will lead you along” (verse 18).

Ideas for Learning at Home and Church
with MATCHING ACTIVITIES
GOD’S CREATIONS
IDEAS FOR TEACHING CHILDREN
God created every creature on earth.
-
As you and your children read Doctrine and Covenants 77:2 together, you might look at pictures of animals, including insects and birds. Your children could point to the pictures when you read the words “beasts,” “creeping things,” and “fowls of the air.” Share with each other how God’s creations help you feel His love.
RECEIVING REVELATION
God gives knowledge to people who seek it.
As Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon worked on the inspired translation of the Bible, they had questions about the book of Revelation, as many people do. And as Joseph knew well, when he lacked wisdom, he could ask of God. (See this James 1:5 scripture poster/card set HERE or below).
The insights he gained are in Doctrine and Covenants 77. As you read this section, consider recording your insights in the relevant chapters in the book of Revelation. What do you learn from your study about receiving revelation?
THE WORK OF THE LORD
I can help “advance the cause” of Christ and His Church.
The Lord told Joseph Smith and other Church leaders that managing a storehouse and a printing press would help “advance the cause, which ye have espoused” (Doctrine and Covenants 78:4). What would you say is the “cause” of the Savior’s Church? Ponder this as you read Doctrine and Covenants 78:1–7. What are some of the various ways you can help advance that cause—including in your family?
See also General Handbook, 1.2.
IDEAS FOR TEACHING CHILDREN
I can help “advance the cause” of Jesus Christ.
-
To help your children think about their roles in the Lord’s work, consider reading with them Doctrine and Covenants 78:4 to identify the “cause” we “espoused” (accepted or chose to support) when we were baptized. Help them look in scripture passages like these for possible answers: Mosiah 18:8–10; Doctrine and Covenants 20:37; Moses 1:39. Your children might enjoy role-playing how they can help with the Lord’s work. For example, what does it look like to “bear one another’s burdens” or “take upon [ourselves] the name of Jesus Christ”? How does this “advance the cause” of Christ?
FOLLOW JESUS
Doctrine and Covenants 78:17–18
The Lord will lead me along.
Why do you think the Lord sometimes calls His followers “little children”? (Doctrine and Covenants 78:17). When have you felt like a little child, perhaps because of something you “have not as yet understood” or “cannot bear”? (verses 17–18). What do you find in these verses that can help you “be of good cheer” (verse 18) in such times? Consider finding a picture of yourself when you were a child, and ponder how you have grown spiritually since then. Or think of something that was hard for you when you were young but is easier now. In what ways does Heavenly Father still want you to be like a child? (see Mosiah 3:19). How is He “[leading] you along”?
IDEAS FOR TEACHING CHILDREN
Jesus Christ will lead me along.
-
It may be fun for your children to talk about what it means to be a leader and then lead an activity. After reading together Doctrine and Covenants 78:18, you could discuss times when we need Jesus to lead us. Consider singing a song such as “I Will Walk with Jesus” (Gospel Library).
BLESSINGS & GRATITUDE
I can receive all things with thankfulness.
To prepare to study Doctrine and Covenants 78:19, you could make a list of good things that have happened to you today. Then make a list of things that don’t really seem like blessings to you. Ponder these lists as you read Doctrine and Covenants 78:19. What difference does it make in your life if you receive “all things” with thankfulness—even things that might not seem like blessings?
To learn more about how gratitude to God can influence your life, explore these scriptures and make a list of the truths you find: Psalm 107:8–9; Luke 17:11–19; Philippians 4:6–7; Mosiah 2:19–24; Alma 34:38; 37:37; Doctrine and Covenants 46:32; 59:7, 15–21.
Consider searching President Dieter F. Uchtdorf’s message “Grateful in Any Circumstances” (Ensign or Liahona, May 2014, 70–77) for counsel about how to be grateful. You could look for similar counsel in the video “President Russell M. Nelson on the Healing Power of Gratitude” (Gospel Library). How does gratitude affect your relationship with Jesus Christ?
See also “Count Your Blessings,” Hymns, no. 241; Topics and Questions, “Gratitude,” Gospel Library.
IDEAS FOR TEACHING CHILDREN
I can receive “all things with thankfulness.”
-
Read with your children Doctrine and Covenants 78:19 to discover what the Lord promises to people who are thankful. Help your children understand what “an hundred fold” means, perhaps by showing them a small object and then 100 of that same object. Perhaps they could draw pictures of things they have received from God “with thankfulness.”
CALLINGS FROM GOD
The call to serve God matters more than where I serve.
Regarding Doctrine and Covenants 80, Elder David A. Bednar taught, “Perhaps one of the lessons the Savior is teaching us in this revelation is that an assignment to labor in a specific place is essential and important but secondary to a call to the work” (“Called to the Work,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2017, 68). What experiences have helped you learn that Elder Bednar’s words are true? What additional lessons can you find in Doctrine and Covenants 79–80 that could help someone who has just received a calling?
