Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament I read that Elisha died and was buried. When the people tried to bury someone else in the same sepulchre, when the body touched the bones of Elisha, he revied and stood up on his feet. What a miracle! 2 Kgs. 13: 20-21 "And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year. And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet."

In the D&C I read the Lord's words to Oliver Cowdery, reminding him that when he had prayed to have a knowledge of the truth, the Lord had spoken peace to his heart. Often this is the way the Lord answers our prayers, by giving us a feeling of peace. D&C 6: 22-23 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, if you desire a further witness, cast your mind upon the night that you cried unto me in your heart, that you might know concerning the truth of these things. Did I not speak peace to your mind concerning the matter? What greater witness can you have than from God?"

Some verses with a thought booklet encourage us to come unto Christ. If we're laden with heavy burdens, we can let Him carry them for us and He will give us rest. If we learn of Christ and take His yoke upon us, we'll find his yoke easy and our burdens will be light. Matt. 11: 28-30 "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
