Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament I read that Abijah died and his son Asa reigned in his stead. He reigned in righteousness and took away the strange gods and their altars. He told Judah to seek the Lord and keep the commandments. 2 Chr. 14: 1-5 "So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years. And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God: For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves: And commanded Judah to seek the Lord God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment. Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before him."

In the D&C I read a verse that contains several points that we should follow--we need to stop being idle, stop being unclean, and stop finding fault with each other. And here's some advice that I often have trouble following, but know I'd feel better physically if I abided by--we should go to bed early and get up early. D&C 88: 124 "Cease to be idle; cease to be unclean; cease to find fault one with another; cease to sleep longer than is needful; retire to thy bed early, that ye may not be weary; arise early, that your bodies and your minds may be invigorated."

A verse with a thought booklet tells us to seek the Lord and He will hear us and deliver us from all our fears. When we're troubled and afraid, we can always turn to the Lord for help. He will be there for us. Ps. 34: 4 "I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears."
