Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament I read a verse that tells us that if we trust in the Lord, we'll be happy. Prov. 16: 20 "He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he."

In the Book of Mormon we read that Abinidi's prophecy came to pass--King Noah ended up suffering death by fire just as he caused to happen to Abinidi. Sooner or later, the wicked will have to pay for the evil that they do. Mosiah 19: 20 "And the king commanded them that they should not return; and they were angry with the king, and caused that he should suffer, even unto death by fire."

Some scriptures with a thought booklet tell us that the Lord hears those who seek Him and delivers them from their fears. He is good and can be trusted. When the righteous cry unto the Lord, He delivers them from their troubles and is near to those who are humble and have a contrite spirit. Ps. 34: 4, 8, 17-19 " I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all."
