Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament I read about how Elisha was able to make an axe head float so it could be retrieved fromt he water it had fallen into. 2 Kgs. 6: 5-7 "But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed. And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim. Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.


In the Book of Mormon I read that if God has stopped doing miracles for some people, it is because of their lack of faith, their unwillingness to trust in God, and their departing from doing what is right. So if God isn't performing miracles in our lives, we need to look to ourselves and seeing what we're doing that's not allowing the miracles to come into our lives. Morm. 9: 20 "And the reason why he ceaseth to do miracles among the children of men is because that they dwindle in unbelief, and depart from the right way, and know not the God in whom they should trust."

A verse with a thought booklet assures is that any temptation we might face is common with man, but that we are given no temptation except that God prepares a way that we'll be able to overcome it. If we'll turn to God, He'll help us resist any temptation that might come to us. This pretty much leaves us without excuse! 1 Cor. 10: 13 "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."
