Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament I read that the Lord will bless the righteous and be their shield and all those who trust in Him can rejoice and shout for joy. Ps. 5: 11-12 "But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield."

In the Pearl of Great Price I read that when Christ comes again it won't be to some secret place where only a few people see Him--it will be like the sun coming up and shining from the east to the west and covering the whole earth. JS-M 1: 25-26 "Wherefore, if they shall say unto you: Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: Behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not; For as the light of the morning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west, and covereth the whole earth, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be."

A verse with a thought booklet tells us not to conform to this world with all its wickedness, but rather to tranform our minds to that which is good, and which is the perfect will of God. Rom. 12: 2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
