Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament I read that for a long season Israel was without the true God and without the law, and they had no peace. But in time of trouble, they turned to the Lord and sought Him and they found Him. 2 Chr. 15: 3-6 "Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law. But when they in their trouble did turn unto the Lord God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them. And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries. And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity."

In the D&C we're told that every man will have the opportunity to hear the gospel preached in his own language by someone ordained unto this power. D&C 90: 11 "For it shall come to pass in that day, that every man shall hear the fulness of the gospel in his own tongue, and in his own language, through those who are ordained unto this power, by the administration of the Comforter, shed forth upon them for the revelation of Jesus Christ."

A verse with a thought booklet tells us that a friend loves at all times, and is a brother to us in times of adversity. Sometimes it takes the really rough times in life to find out who our true friends really are. Do they stand by us when the going gets tough, or do they avoid us and don't seem to want to deal with us? The true friends who support us and do their best to be there for us, even if only to provide a listening ear, can make all the difference in the world. When our friends are going through trials and tribulations, we need to do everything we can to be there for them and help them through whatever they're going through. Prov. 17: 17 "A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity."
