The Lord is literally the light of the universe (D&C 88:6–13). He will also be our light while we are passing through this wilderness of mortality, and he will “prepare the way” before us—if we keep his commandments—and he will lead us toward the ultimate promised land, the celestial kingdom. In the end, we will know it is he who did it. When we arrive in the eternal world, we will know with a perfect knowledge that the Lord delivered us out of destruction, out of the hand of the destroyer.
