The Saratoga Temple construction project was about to encounter a major issue: the top room of the temple was entirely roofless, and the largest rainstorm of the year was headed directly toward the temple site.
As construction workers and temple missionaries anxiously watched a “wall of water” approach the temple, they prayed earnestly that the Lord might preserve the holiest area of this sacred edifice.
As torrential rainfall soaked the surrounding plot of land, the unthinkable happened: the clouds parted directly in two, the rain forming enormous curtains around the temple.
Area residents looked on in awe, later confirming that it was “the strangest behavior they had ever seen from any storm.”
The Lord, in His mercy and good humor, allowed a Mosaic rerun, parting the rain as easily as He once parted the sea.
Today, too many are tossed to and fro, carried about by every wind of doctrine, seemingly helpless to the spiritual weather.
In the temple of our God, the storm is quieted. The rain does indeed fall upon the just and the unjust, but roofed or roofless, the temple shelters us from every pernicious precipitation.
I urge you today: seek its walls. From within, you can enjoy the peaceful sound of rain on stained window panes with one ear, and the unrestrained voice of the Lord with the other.
