In the topsy-turvy last days, it is important to realize that as “the eternal purposes of the Lord shall roll on,” His disciples will surely know what it is to be tumbled. (Mormon 8:22.) It will be no time to be proud, especially when the tumblings may not at the moment seem purposeful. Yet the Lord’s work will roll on; His meek disciples will understand. (Meek and Lowly [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1987], 56, as quoted in The Neal A. Maxwell Quote Book, ed. Cory H. Maxwell [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1997], 191)
