Listen Enoch is the Best

So for my Comp Lit homework this weekend I had to read Moses 6:26-37. This happens to be one of my favorite sections in the entirety of the Standard Works. Why? Because Enoch is literally the coolest. He's bammin' slammin' spiritualicious, and he was but a wee laddie of ~65 when he became prophet and he STILL managed to create the coolest, most awesome, most spiritual city in the history ever, to the point where the Lord was like, "yep y'all need to come live with me immediately."

Enoch was actually really similar to Moses. They both sucked at the whole talking thing (the poor babs) and no one really liked either them at first. However the difference lies in each of their responses to the Lord promising that He'd help them become great prophets. Moses was very hesitant, but Enoch was more willing to just go with it and trust the Lord. Enoch did voice his concerns, saying,

"Why is it that I have found favor in thy sight, and am but a lad, and all the people hate me; for I am slow of speech; wherefore am I thy servant?" (Moses 6:31)

or in layman's terms,

"Listen, in this cruel world of chicken tenders, I am but a smol chicken nugget, a chicken tenderling, and my speaking is not of the good variety, so pls to explain why you want me to be prophet?????"

The Lord reassured Enoch in these tenderling worries, and promised him that "I will do as seemeth me good." (6:32) Enoch trusted the Lord to help him overcome his weaknesses, and because he did everything he could to be a good servant to the Lord, he ended up being one of the greatest prophets, creating Zion and inspiring countless people to come unto the Lord.

It doesn't matter how weak we are in any aspect of life. We can be deaf, autistic, unathletic, or faint of heart, but not even the worst of these can prevent us from becoming who the Lord wants us to be if we just trust in Him. He loves us and wants us to reach the great heights that are our birthright. This gives me great joy and motivation, for we can become the greatest of chicken tenders even if we, like Enoch or Joseph Smith, begin as the smallest of nuggets.
