Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament I read that the Lord saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the Assyrians and guided them on every side. 2 Chr. 32: 21-22 "And the Lord sent an angel , which cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came forth of his own bowels slew him there with the sword. Thus the Lord saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all other, and guided them on every side."

In the D&C I read that we should organize ourselves and prepare a house of prayer, fasting, faith, learning, glory, and order--a House of God. D&C 109: 8 "Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing, and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God;"

Some verses with a thought booklet talk about how we should not judge others and how we often pick at the small faults of others while possessing huge faults of our own. Sometimes our favorite sin seems to be judging others and we become experts at seeing what is wrong with other people. We clearly see the weaknesses in others while turning the other way instead of seeing that same weakness in ourselves. This should not be! However we choose to judge others will be how God will judge us. Matt. 7: 1-5 "Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."
