Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament I read that Josiah held a solemn passover, as commanded in the book of the covenant. 2 Kings 23: 21 "And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto the Lord your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant."

In the D&C I read that Jesus Christ is the light and life of the world and He loved the world so much that He gave His life for all of us, that if we would believe, we could be children of God. D&C 34: 2-3 "The light and the life of the world, a light which shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehendeth it not; Who so loved the world that he gave his own life, that as many as would believe might become the sons of God. Wherefore you are my son;"

Some verses with a thought booklet gives us a list of things the Lord hates--pride, lies, murder, wicked imaginations, being quick to do mischief, bearing false witness, and sowing dischord. God wants us to have peaceful, loving relationships with other people and this list of things that He hates, interfers with having such harmonious relationships. Prov. 6: 16-19 "These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren."
