An Eye Single to His Glory

Yesterday, I was listening to scriptures as I drove in the car, and this scripture was read:

For none can have power to bring it to light save it be given him of God; for God wills that it shall be done with an eye single to his glory, or the welfare of the ancient and long dispersed covenant people of the Lord. (Mormon 8:15)

This verse resonates so very deeply in me. In this chapter, Moroni talks about the plates upon which he makes a record and how they are of little worth compared to the great worth of the record itself. Why? Because the record is kept “for the welfare of the ancient and long dispersed covenant people of the Lord.”

Having “an eye single to his glory,” in part, at least, has much to do with “the welfare of the ancient and long dispersed covenant people of the Lord.” Do you know who they are? Do you know what their “welfare” is? Do you have a part in bringing it to pass? Do you know how that happens?

Good questions to ask and, even better, to have answered.
