Daily Thoughts

A verse from the Old Testament tells us that if we seek good, we'll find it; and if we seek mischief it will come to us. Whether we look for the good or for the bad, we're likely to find what we're looking for. Prov. 11: 27 "He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him."

In the Book of Mormon it tells us the importance of teaching our children not to fight and quarrel with one another because if they do, they are serving the devil. Instead, we need to teach them to love and serve one another and to walk in the ways of truth. Mosiah 4: 14-15 "And ye will not suffer your children that they go hungry, or naked; neither will ye suffer that they transgress the laws of God, and fight and quarrel one with another, and serve the devil, who is the master of sin, or who is the evil spirit which hath been spoken of by our fathers, he being an enemy to all righteousness. But ye will teach them to walk in the ways of truth and soberness; ye will teach them to love one another, and to serve one another."

A verse I read with a thought booklet tells us that that which is good comes from God and we need to follow it, but we need to avoid that which is evil. 3 Jn. 1: 11 "Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God."
