Daily Thoughts

A verse from the Old Testament tells us that the love delights in honest people but those who tell lies are an abomination to Him. Prov. 12: 22 "Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight."

I read a verse in the Book of Mormon that tells us we can rejoice and trust in God; for He is the same God that brought the Israelites out of Egypt and parted the Red Sea for them and gave them manna in the wilderness so they would not starve. We likewise can trust in this same God. Mosiah 7: 19 "Therefore, lift up your heads, and rejoice, and put your trust in God, in that God who was the God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob; and also, that God who brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, and caused that they should walk through the Red Sea on dry ground, and fed them with manna that they might not perish in the wilderness; and many more things did he do for them."

Going right along with this, some verses with a thought booklet tell us that our hearts can rejoice because we trust in the Lord. He is our help and our shield and we can hope in His mercy. Ps. 33: 18-22 "Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name. Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee."
