Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament I read that we can cry until the Lord when we're feeling troubled and overwhelmed and He will hear us. When our souls refuse to be comforted, we need to remember the Lord and seek Him. Ps. 77: 1-3 "I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted. I remembered God, and was troubled: I acomplained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah."

In the Book of Mormon I read that the day will soon come when the wicked will be destroyed and Satan will no longer have power over the hearts of the children of men. The Lord won't suffer that the wicked shall destroy the righteous. 1 Ne. 22: 15-16 "For behold, saith the prophet, the time cometh speedily that Satan shall have no more power over the hearts of the children of men; for the day soon cometh that all the proud and they who do wickedly shall be as stubble; and the day cometh that they must be burned. For the time soon cometh that the fulness of the wrath of God shall be poured out upon all the children of men; for he will not suffer that the wicked shall destroy the righteous."

Some scriptures with a thought booklet tell us that Jesus did not teach as one of the scribes, but taught as one having authority and astonished people with His doctrines. Matt. 7: 28-29 "And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes."
