While visiting a family in Southern Utah, the author heard a story from a father who found his wheat field covered in grasshoppers. After the family united in earnest prayer, the grasshoppers arose in a body and flew away, leaving the crop completely untouched.
In Their Own Words
“Having closed my petition, I returned to the wheat field, and to my great astonishment the grasshoppers arose in a body and soared away. I was even more surprised when I discovered that not an ear of wheat had been destroyed, the Lord having locked the jaws of the ravenous insects. — Millennial Star 69:37”
