Lift Where You Stand
Every priesthood holder stands at a unique place and has an important task that only he can perform.
Beloved brethren, I am honored to be with you at this worldwide priesthood gathering. With you, I am so grateful to be in the presence of our beloved prophet, President Thomas S. Monson, and President Eyring. Brethren, we thank you for your faithfulness and moral strength. It is indeed a privilege and a joy to be part of this great brotherhood.
Lift Where You Stand Some years ago in our meetinghouse in Darmstadt, Germany, a group of brethren was asked to move a grand piano from the chapel to the adjoining cultural hall, where it was needed for a musical event. None were professional movers, and the task of getting that gravity-friendly instrument through the chapel and into the cultural hall seemed nearly impossible. Everybody knew that this task required not only physical strength but also careful coordination. There were plenty of ideas, but not one could keep the piano balanced correctly. They repositioned the brethren by strength, height, and age over and over again—nothing worked. As they stood around the piano, uncertain of what to do next, a good friend of mine, Brother Hanno Luschin, spoke up. He said, “Brethren, stand close together and lift where you stand.” It seemed too simple. Nevertheless, each lifted where he stood, and the piano rose from the ground and moved into the cultural hall as if on its own power. That was the answer to the challenge. They merely needed to stand close together and lift where they stood. I have often thought of Brother Luschin’s simple idea and have been impressed by its profound truth. Tonight I would like to expand on that simple concept, “lift where you stand.”
Some Want to Lead, Others Want to Hide Although it may seem simple, lifting where we stand is a principle of power. Most of the priesthood bearers I know understand and live by this principle. They are eager to roll up their sleeves and go to work, whatever that work might be. They faithfully perform their priesthood duties. They magnify their callings. They serve the Lord by serving others. They stand close together and lift where they stand. However, there are those who sometimes struggle with this concept. And when they do, they seem to fall into one of two camps: either they seek to lead, or they seek to hide. They covet a crown or a cave.
Those Who Seek to Lead Those who seek to lead may feel they are capable of doing more than what they are currently asked to do. Some might think, “If only I were a bishop, I could make a difference.” They believe that their abilities far surpass their calling. Perhaps if they were in an important position of leadership, they would work hard at making a difference. But they wonder, “What possible influence can I have as merely a home teacher or a counselor in the quorum presidency?”
Those Who Seek to Hide Those who seek to hide may feel that they are too busy to serve in the Church. When the chapel needs to be cleaned, when the Mendez family needs help moving, when the bishop calls them to teach a class, they always seem to have a ready excuse. Twenty years ago, President Ezra Taft Benson shared reports from bishops and stake presidents that some members “are turning down calls to serve claiming they are ‘too busy’ or they ‘haven’t got time.’ Others accept such callings, but refuse to magnify those callings.” President Benson went on to say, “The Lord expects each of us to have a calling in His Church so that others may be blessed by our talents and influence.”1 Oddly enough, often the root cause of both of these tendencies—seeking to lead or seeking to hide—may be the same: selfishness.
A Better Way There is a better way, taught to us by the Savior Himself: “Whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant.”2 When we seek to serve others, we are motivated not by selfishness but by charity. This is the way Jesus Christ lived His life and the way a holder of the priesthood must live his. The Savior did not care for the honors of men; Satan offered Him all the kingdoms and glory of the world, and Jesus rejected the offer immediately and completely.3 Throughout His life, the Savior must have often felt tired and pressed upon, with scarcely a moment to Himself; yet He always made time for the sick, the sorrowful, and the overlooked. In spite of this shining example, we too easily and too often get caught up in seeking the honors of men rather than serving the Lord with all our might, mind, and strength. Brethren, when we stand before the Lord to be judged, will He look upon the positions we have held in the world or even in the Church? Do you suppose that titles we have had other than “husband,” “father,” or “priesthood holder” will mean much to Him? Do you think He will care how packed our schedule was or how many important meetings we attended? Do you suppose that our success in filling our days with appointments will serve as an excuse for failure to spend time with our wife and family? The Lord judges so very differently from the way we do. He is pleased with the noble servant, not with the self-serving noble. Those who are humble in this life will wear crowns of glory in the next. Jesus taught this doctrine Himself when He told the story of the rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and ate sumptuously every day, while the beggar Lazarus yearned merely to taste of the crumbs from the rich man’s table. In the next life, Lazarus appeared in glory next to Abraham, while the rich man was cast into hell, where he lifted up his eyes in torment.4
The Example of John Rowe Moyle This year marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of John Rowe Moyle. John was a convert to the Church who left his home in England and traveled to the Salt Lake Valley as part of a handcart company. He built a home for his family in a small town a valley away from Salt Lake City. John was an accomplished stonecutter and, because of this skill, was asked to work on the Salt Lake Temple. Every Monday John left home at two o’clock in the morning and walked six hours in order to be at his post on time. On Friday he would leave his work at five o’clock in the evening and walk almost until midnight before arriving home. He did this year after year. One day, while he was doing his chores at home, a cow kicked him in the leg, causing a compound fracture. With limited medical resources, the only option was to amputate the broken leg. So John’s family and friends strapped him onto a door and, with a bucksaw, cut off his leg a few inches from the knee. In spite of the crude surgery, the leg started to heal. Once John could sit up in bed, he began carving a wooden leg with an ingenious joint that served as an ankle to an artificial foot. Walking on this device was extremely painful, but John did not give up, building up his endurance until he could make the 22-mile (35-km) journey to the Salt Lake Temple each week, where he continued his work. His hands carved the words “Holiness to the Lord” that stand today as a golden marker to all who visit the Salt Lake Temple.5 John did not do this for the praise of man. Neither did he shirk his duty, even though he had every reason to do so. He knew what the Lord expected him to do. Years later, John’s grandson Henry D. Moyle was called as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve and, eventually, served in the First Presidency of the Church. President Moyle’s service in these callings was honorable, but his grandfather John’s service, though somewhat less public, is just as pleasing to the Lord. John’s character, his legacy of sacrifice, serves as a banner of faithfulness and an ensign of duty to his family and to the Church. John Rowe Moyle understood the meaning of “lift where you stand.”
The Example of Helaman’s 2,000 Warriors Individual recognition is rarely an indication of the value of our service. We do not know the names, for example, of any of the 2,000 sons of Helaman. As individuals, they are unnamed. As a group, however, their name will always be remembered for honesty, courage, and the willingness to serve. They accomplished together what none of them could have accomplished alone. That is a lesson for us, brethren of the priesthood. When we stand close together and lift where we stand, when we care more for the glory of the kingdom of God than for our own prestige or pleasure, we can accomplish so much more.
Every Calling Is an Opportunity to Serve and Grow No calling is beneath us. Every calling provides an opportunity to serve and to grow. The Lord organized the Church in a way that offers each member an opportunity for service, which, in turn, leads to personal spiritual growth. Whatever your calling, I urge you to see it as an opportunity not only to strengthen and bless others but also to become what Heavenly Father wants you to become. When traveling to the stakes of Zion for the purpose of reorganizing a stake presidency, I have sometimes been surprised when, during an interview, a brother would tell me that he had received an impression that he would be in the next presidency. When I first heard this, I wasn’t sure how to react. It took some time before the Holy Spirit gave me understanding. I believe that the Lord has a certain calling for every man. Sometimes He grants spiritual promptings telling us that we are worthy to receive certain callings. This is a spiritual blessing, a tender mercy from God. But sometimes we do not hear the rest of what the Lord is telling us. “Although you are worthy to serve in this position,” He may say, “this is not my calling for you. It is my desire instead that you lift where you stand.” God knows what is best for us.
‘Lift where you stand’
“Stand close together and lift where you stand” — instructions to a group of men trying to move a piano in a meetinghouse — served as the theme for President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, second counselor in the First Presidency, as he spoke in the Saturday evening priesthood session.
“Although it may seem simple, lifting where we stand is a principle of power,” he said, adding that most priesthood holders he knows understand and live the principle in faithfully serving others.
“There are those, however, who sometimes struggle with this concept. And when they do, they seem to fall into one of two camps: either they seek to lead, or they seek to hide. They covet a crown or a cave.”
Those wanting to lead believe they are capable of doing more than currently asked and their abilities surpass their calling. Meanwhile, those wanting to hide claim to be too busy to serve.
“Oddly enough, often the root cause of both of these tendencies — seeking to lead or seeking to hide — may be the same: selfishness,” President Uchtdorf said, adding there is a better way and a greater example.
“When we seek to serve others, we are motivated not by selfishness but by charity — we lift where we stand. This is the way Jesus Christ lived His life and the way a holder of the priesthood must live his.”
In spite of the Savior’s example, “we too easily and too often get caught up in seeking the honors of men rather than serving the Lord with all our might, mind and strength.” Further, he said, “The Lord judges so very differently from the way we do. He is pleased with the noble servant, not with the self-serving ‘noble.”‘
President Uchtdorf cited the 2,000 warrior “sons” of Helaman — all unnamed, but forever remembered for their honesty, courage and selfless service.
“When we stand close together and lift where we stand, when we care more for the glory of the kingdom of God than for our own prestige or pleasure, we can accomplish so much more.”
Every calling is both an opportunity to serve and to grow, with the Church organized so each member has that opportunity, he said.
“You may feel that there are others who are more capable or more experienced who could fulfill your callings and assignments better than you can,” President Uchtdorf said, “but the Lord gave you your responsibilities for a reason. There may be people and hearts only you can reach and touch. Perhaps no one else could do it in quite the same way.”
President Uchtdorf’s closing call mirrored his caution to those who seek to lead or seek to hide: “Brethren, may we cease to aspire and cease to retire.”
Just as one should not try to lift a piano by oneself, “none of us should move the Lord’s work alone,” he said. “But if we all stand close together in the place the Lord has appointed and lift where we stand, nothing can keep this divine work from moving upward and forward.”
Learning to Lift Where You Stand
If you’re doing what God has asked you to do, you’re doing enough.
I’ve been in college for a while now—years on years of working part-time and studying full-time. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I have the added responsibilities of fulfilling callings in my ward, looking out for my roommates, finding opportunities to serve others, attending church and the temple, and fulfilling a host of other duties that come with striving to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.
All these duties can be overwhelming. But they can also be rather underwhelming; sometimes I wonder if I could be making a greater impact on the world. President Dieter F. Uchtdorf answers my question in his talk “Lift Where You Stand,” explaining that we all have unique tasks in our current circumstances and we should focus on performing those tasks—in other words, lifting where we stand. But what if we’re struggling with the concept of lifting where we stand? Elder Uchtdorf describes two potential reasons for this struggle: “Either [we] seek to lead, or [we] seek to hide. [We] covet a crown or a cave.”
President Uchtdorf says that those who seek a crown imagine themselves in positions of greater responsibility and that those who seek a cave think they’re too busy to serve. Instead of thinking in terms of crowns or caves, we can remind ourselves that God simply expects us to do what he has asked us to do. Nothing more, nothing less.
A great example of lifting where we stand is John Rowe Moyle, a stonecutter who worked on the Salt Lake Temple. He walked hundreds of miles over the course of many years to do the will of the Lord. Even when faced with the loss of a limb, he continued onward. “John did not do this for the praise of man,” President Uchtdorf says. “Neither did he shirk his duty, even though he had every reason to do so. He knew what the Lord expected him to do.”
Whether what we’re being asked to do is overwhelming, underwhelming, or a bit of both, all our efforts—even the simplest things—can and do make a difference. If we press onward and keep moving forward in faith, our efforts will not go unnoticed or unappreciated.
