Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament I read that Rehaboam forsook the law of the Lord and the Egyptians were able to come up against Jerusalem and take their fenced cities. 2 Chronicles 12:1-4 "And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him. And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the Lord, With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians. And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem."

A verse in the D&C talks about the great calamities that will fall upon all the inhabitants of the earth. D&C 87: 6 "And thus, with the sword and by bloodshed the inhabitants of the earth shall mourn; and with famine , and plague, and earthquake, and the thunder of heaven, and the fierce and vivid lightning also, shall the inhabitants of the earth be made to feel the wrath, and indignation, and chastening hand of an Almighty God, until the consumption decreed hath made a full end of all nations;"

A verse with a thought booklet tells us to do all things without murmuring and disputing. When asked to do something by the Lord, do we do it cheerfully and willingly? Or do we complain about it or try to argue why we shouldn't really have to do it? Philip. 2: 14 "Do all things without murmurings and disputings:"
