Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament I read that it is better to have little but be righteous than to have great riches but be evil. In the eternal scheme of things, money really doesn't matter (we can't take it with us!) but how well we keep the commandments is of eternal significance. Prov. 16: 8 "Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right."

In the Book of Mormon I read that to those who are carnal in nature and continue in sin and rebellion against God, it was as though there were no redemption made. The devil has all power over them. Mosiah 16: 5 "But remember that he that persists in his own carnal nature, and goes on in the ways of sin and rebellion against God, remaineth in his fallen state and the devil hath all power over him. Therefore he is as though there was no redemption made, being an enemy to God; and also is the devil an enemy to God."

A verse with a thought booklet tells us that Jesus came to seek out and save those who are lost. So if we're seeking God, we can know that He's also seeking us out, even more than we're seeking Him. What a comforting thought that is! Luke 19: 10 "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost."
