Daily Thoughts

***NOTE:  For the rest of the week,  I'll be sending out my "Daily Thoughts" emails early, the night before instead of in the mornings.  The reason for this is that I'll be attending BYU Education Week and won't have time to get on my computer in the mornings before heading out for my commute to Provo.  I'll be taking notes in all my classes at Education Week, and forwarding them to everyone.  If you don't want my Education Week notes, please email me that you don't want to be on the list to get them.  Or if for some reason you don't receive these nightly emails of my Education Week notes (Monday through Friday) and would let to get them, please email me and I'll make sure you get them.  I love attending BYU Education Week each year and try to take a wide variety of classes.  I'm happy to try to share the Education Week experience with as many people as possible by sharing my notes with them.  I'm looking forward to attending and hope you'll enjoy reading my notes.  Anyway, here are my Daily Thoughts for tomorrow: 

In the Old Testament I read four lepers entered into the gate of the city and found no one there. 2 Kings 7: 3-5 "And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die? If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die. And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there."

In the Book of Mormon I read Christ's words that if we get rid of our unbelief and hardness of heart that keeps us in an awful state of wickedness and call upon the Father with a broken heart and contrite spitie, then we'll know that God remembers the covenants He's made with our fathers. Ether 4: 15 "Behold, when ye shall rend that veil of unbelief which doth cause you to remain in your awful state of wickedness, and hardness of heart, and blindness of mind, then shall the great and marvelous things which have been hid up from the foundation of the world from you—yea, when ye shall call upon the Father in my name, with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, then shall ye know that the Father hath remembered the covenant which he made unto your fathers, O house of Israel."

A verse with a thought booklet tells us that all things are possible if we'll but believe. Faith does work miracles! Mark 9: 23 "Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth."
