Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament I read about how another "friend" of Job chastised him for supposedly bringing on his troubles himself by his evil doings. He told Job to seek God and that if he was pure and righteous God would hear him because God doesn't pervert justice. God would not cast away a perfect man but will not help evil doers. Again, this friend was wrongfully judging Job. Job 8: 3-6, 20 "Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice? If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression; If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty; If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous. Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:"

In the Pearl of Great Price I read that the Lord, through the Holy Ghost, calls upon all men everywhere to repent. Those who believe in Jesus Christ and are willing to repent will be saved. Those who don't, will be damned. Pretty staight forward. Moses 5: 14-15 "And the Lord God called upon men by the Holy Ghost everywhere and commanded them that they should repent; And as many as believed in the Son, and repented of their sins, should be saved; and as many as believed not and repented not, should be damned; and the words went forth out of the mouth of God in a firm decree; wherefore they must be fulfilled."

A verse with a thought booklet tells us that our bodies are temples and belong to God. Do we think we can abuse our bodies with drugs, alcohol, fornication, tattoos, or whatever and it's okay because it's OUR body? Wrong! We need to think of our bodies as temples and keep them pure and sacred. 1 Cor. 6: 19 "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?"
