Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament I read that Solom finished the House of the Lord and brought in all the things that his father David had dedicated for it. 2 Chr. 5: 1 "Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the Lord was finished: and Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God."

In the D&C I read that we need to pray to the Lord for the Comforter, which will teach us all things that are expedient for us. We need to pray always that we won't faint. If we do this, the Lord will be with us, even unto the end. D&C 75: 10-11 "Calling on the name of the Lord for the Comforter, which shall teach them all things that are expedient for them—Praying always that they faint not; and inasmuch as they do this, I will be with them even unto the end

Some verses with a thought booklet tell us that if we hear the Word of the Lord and do what they say, we're like a wise man who builds his house on a firm foundation so that it will withstand the storms of life that come. But if we hear the Word of the Lord and disregard it, we're like the foolish man who builds his house upon the sand. When storms come, the house will be washed away. We not only need to be hearers of the Word, but doers also. Luke 6: 46-49 "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. But he that heareth , and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great."
