Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament I read that we need to keep our tongue from speaking guile and evil and we need to depart from evil. We need to do good and pursue peace. Ps. 34: 13-14 "Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it."

In the Book of Mormon I read that if we diligently seek, we will find, and the mysteries of God will be opened up to us by the power of the Holy Ghost. God is always the same, and just as He revealed Himself in days of old, He will reveal Himself to us today. 1 Ne. 10: 19 "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost, as well in these times as in times of old, and as well in times of old as in times to come; wherefore, the course of the Lord is one eternal round."

A verse with a thought booklet tells us that we will not receive what we ask for if we ask amiss. If we atune ourselves to God we won't ask for things that aren't expedient for us, and God will grant our requests that we make in prayer. Instead of wanting what WE want, we need to want what God wants for us. James 4: 1 "rom whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?"
