In the Old Testament I read that Jehu slew all the house of Ahab in Jezreel. All the words which the Lord spoke concerning the house of Ahab to Elijah were fulfilled. 2 Kgs. 10:10-11 "Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing of the word of the Lord, which the Lord spake concerning the house of Ahab: for the Lord hath done that which he spake by his servant Elijah. So Jehu slew all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his kinsfolks, and his priests, until he left him none remaining."

In the Book of Mormon, Moroni recounts the sacramental prayer on the bread, which reminds us of the covenants we make each week when we take the sacrament. We covenants that we're willing to take upon us the name of Christ, always remember Him, and keep His commandments. In return, Heavenly Father promises us that we'll always have His Spirit to be with us. Moro. 4: 3 "O God, the Eternal Father, we ask thee in the name of thy Son, Jesus Christ, to bless and sanctify this bread to the souls of all those who partake of it; that they may eat in remembrance of the body of thy Son, and witness unto thee, O God, the Eternal Father, that they are willing to take upon them the name of thy Son, and always remember him, and keep his commandments which he hath given them, that they may always have his Spirit to be with them. Amen."

Some scriptures with a thought booklet tell us to walk in wisdom and let our speech be always with grace, that we'll know how to answer every man. I think we need to the Lord's help in knowing the right things to say at the right time. Just like a stray kitten will keep coming back if we feed him, so will others keep coming back to us if we feed them spiritual food that nourishes them. Col. 4: 5-6 "Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man."
