Isaiah’s imagery of the anguish and self-consciousness of the haughty and wicked in the face of the Lord’s presence is powerful motivation for all of us to avoid this state of affairs. The wicked find no shield and protection from the consuming glance of the eye of Deity—not in holes of the rocks, not in caves, not in ragged summits of stone. In contrast, the righteous find comfort and solace when charity dominates their lives and virtue garnishes their thoughts: “then shall thy confidence wax strong in the presence of God; and the doctrine of the priesthood shall distil upon thy soul as the dews from heaven. The Holy Ghost shall be thy constant companion, and thy scepter an unchanging scepter of righteousness and truth; and thy dominion shall be an everlasting dominion, and without compulsory means it shall flow unto thee forever and ever” (D&C 121:45-46).
