Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament I read that Manasseh died and his son Amon reigned in his stead. He was sicked and returned the people to serving idols and sacrificing to them. He was sicked like his father except that he didn't humble himself and repent like his father died, but rather sinned more and more. Eventually his servants killed him in his own house. What a sad end to an evil life. 2 Chr. 33: 20-24 "So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead. Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem. But he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord , as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them; And humbled not himself before the Lord, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more. And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house."

In the D&C we read that we can rejoice because our sins are forgiven us. What wonderful words of comfort these are--to know that through the atonement of Jesus Christ we can be washed clean from our sins if we'll repent. D&C 110: 5 "Behold, your sins are forgiven you; you are clean before me; therefore, lift up your heads and rejoice."

A verse with a thought booklet tells us that if we live by the Spirit, we'll be guided by the Spirit. Gal. 5: 25 "If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit."
