Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament I read that Solomon hade a molten sea for the temple which is described very much like the baptismal fonts in our temples today. 2 Chr. 4: 2-4 "Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about. And under it was the similitude of oxen, which did compass it round about: ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it was cast. It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward."

In the D&C we're told to render ourselves approved in all things and be accouted as wise stewards. D&C 72: 22 "That they also may render themselves approved in all things, and be accounted as wise stewards."

A verse from a thought booklet reminds us to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousnes, and all these things will be added unto us. I've found this to be so true in my life. When I put other things ahead of God, nothing seems to turn out well. But when I put God first in my life, the other things seem to fall into place. Matt. 6: 33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
