Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament it says a man who can rule his own spirit and is slow to anger is better than a mighty man who takes a city. Prov. 16: 32 "He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city."

In the Book of Mormon I read about how the prophecies of Abinidi were fulfilled because the wicked people wouldn't hearken to his words. Mosiah 20: 21 "For are not the words of Abinadi fulfilled, which he prophesied against us—and all this because we would not hearken unto the words of the Lord, and turn from our iniquities?"

Some verses with a thought booklet tell us to be content with what we have and not be covetous. For the Lord will never leave us nor forsake us, He will be our helper, and we have no need to fear what man can do to us. Even if we were to lose all our worldly possessions, we'd still have the love and grace of God on our side and we'd have nothing to fear as long as we trusted in Him. Heb. 13: 5-6 "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me."
