In the Old Testament I read that the Lord would cause lewdness to cease out of the land and the people would be punished for their lewdness and their idols and would come to know that the Lord was God. Wickedness will eventually come to an end and all will come to know that the Lord is God. Ezek. 23: 48-49 "Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness. And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols: and ye shall know that I am the Lord God."
In the D&C I read that the Lord has given us a pattern to follow so that we may not be deceived. Satan is going about trying to decieve the nations. He who speaks with a contrite spirit and uses language that edifies, is accepted of the Lord if he obeys the commandments. D&C 52: 14-15 "And again, I will give unto you a pattern in all things, that ye may not be deceived; for Satan is abroad in the land, and he goeth forth deceiving the nations— Wherefore he that prayeth, whose spirit is contrite, the same is accepted of me if he obey mine ordinances."
A verse from a thought booklet tells us that there are many plans in a human heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails. We may have plans for our life that are forced to take a detour because the Lord has other things in mind for us. We need to have faith and trust in Him, no matter what roads we are on, even if things don't happen the way we planned on. Prov. 19: 21 "There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand."
