Men Have Weaknesses That They Might Be Humble

Daniel H. Ludlow

As Moroni is about ready to complete his record, he fears lest the people will mock at his writings because of his own weaknesses and imperfections. Therefore, he prays to the Lord concerning this matter. The Lord answers his petition in these words:

Fools mock, but they shall mourn; and my grace is sufficient for the meek, that they shall take no advantage of your weakness;

And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them. (Ether 12:26-27.)

Even though we might have weaknesses, if we have faith in the Lord as he indicated, then our weaknesses may be turned into strengths.
