Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament we read that a talebearer's words cause deep wounds. Before we start gossiping about somebody else, we need to think about the pain and harm our words can cause. Prov. 18: 8 "The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly."

In the Book of Mormon I read that there were many churches but they were all one church in that they taught the same thing--faith in God and repentance. This is true today also--you can attend any LDS Church anywhere in the world and you'll feel right at home because they all teach the same thing. Mosiah 25: 22 "And thus, notwithstanding there being many churches they were all one church, yea, even the church of God; for there was nothing preached in all the churches except it were repentance and faith in God."

A verse with a thought booklet talks about seeking God early, and thirsting for Him the way you'd thirst for water if you were in a dry desert. How much do we long to have God in our lives? Do we want it as much as we'd want water in a dry and thirsty land? Ps. 63: 1 "O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;"
