Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament we're told that if a man is perfect and upright, his end will be peace. If someone is commiting sin and doing what they know to be wrong, that's the one thing that seems to be lacking in their lives--peace. Ps. 37: 37 "Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace."


In the Book of Mormon I read that Nephi saw in vision the great destructions that would come upon the land, just prior to the Savior coming down from the heavens and showing Himself to the people. 1 Ne. 12: 4-6 "And it came to pass that I saw a mist of darkness on the face of the land of promise; and I saw lightnings, and I heard thunderings, and earthquakes, and all manner of tumultuous noises; and I saw the earth and the rocks, that they rent; and I saw mountains tumbling into pieces; and I saw the plains of the earth, that they were broken up; and I saw many cities that they were sunk; and I saw many that they were burned with fire; and I saw many that did tumble to the earth, because of the quaking thereof. And it came to pass after I saw these things, I saw the vapor of darkness, that it passed from off the face of the earth; and behold, I saw multitudes who had not fallen because of the great and terrible judgments of the Lord. And I saw the heavens open, and the Lamb of God descending out of heaven; and he came down and showed himself unto them."

A verse with a thought booklet tells us that the end result of our faith will be the salvation of our souls. Earthly riches might be lost, but our eternal inheritance is secure. 1 Pet. 1: 9 "Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls."
