Alma 29:4, 6, 7

Alma 29:4

I ought not to harrow up in my desires, the firm decree of a just God,

for I know that he granteth unto men according to their desire,

whether it be unto death or unto life;

yea, I know that he allotteth unto men,

yea, decreeth unto them decrees which are unalterable, according to their wills,

whether they be unto salvation or unto destruction.

Alma 29:6

Now, seeing that I know these things,

why should I desire more

than to perform the work to which I have been called?

Alma 29:7

Why should I desire that I were an angel,

that I could speak unto all the ends of the earth?
