“Are you not ashamed of such pretentions?” she said. “You, who are no more than any ignorant plow boy of our land!”
Joseph testified simply: “The gift has returned back again, as in former times, to illiterate fishermen.” —#Saints Vol. 1, & “Vicissitudes Illustrated,” Towle

God chooses the “weak things of the earth” to do his work. There are many good reasons for this. A humble man is teachable & obedient to his Lord’s will. Most importantly, Godly miracles wrought by humble beings cannot be misinterpreted as intellectual sophistry or might of arm.
God made the little shepherd David into a giant slayer, a king, & father of the lineage from whence the Messiah wld be born. He made Joseph, a boy left in a pit to die, later enslaved & imprisoned, into an interpreter of dreams, a leader in Egypt, & a savior of famished nations.
He made Moses, orphaned Hebrew infant & slow of speech, into a plague-bringer, water bender, & scribe of the first foundational biblical law. Would he appear in a grove to a farm boy & build him into the Restoration prophet promised since the time of Isaiah? He would. And he did.
Joseph Smith was a prophet. Until the world knows this it will know no more, for all that the Lord Jesus Christ has to give this generation lies beyond the door that Joseph has opened at his bidding. If you want access to God’s infinite light, get to know Brother Joseph. #HearHim
