Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament I read that Boaz married Ruth and she bore a son. This son would later be an ancester of Jesus Christ. Ruth, with all her faithfulnes to her mother in law, was greatly blessed by the Lord. Ruth 4: 13 "So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the Lord gave her conception, and she bare a son."

In the Book of Mormon I read that the mysteries of God are revealed to those who do not harden their hearts, but those who do harden their hearts are given only a portion of the word until they know nothing concerning the mysteries of God and are lead captive by the devil. Alma 12: 10-11 "And therefore, he that will harden his heart, the same receiveth the lesser portion of the word; and he that will not harden his heart, to him is given the greater portion of the word, until it is given unto him to know the mysteries of God until he know them in full. And they that will harden their hearts, to them is given the lesser portion of the word until they know nothing concerning his mysteries; and then they are taken captive by the devil, and led by his will down to destruction. Now this is what is meant by the chains of hell."

A verse with a thought booklet tells us that God can enlarge our steps under us so that our feet don't slip. If we rely on the Lord to help us, He can guide our steps and keep us from stumbling and falling in our walk through life. Ps. 18: 36 "Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip."
