Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament I read violence will be no more and light from the sun and moon will no longer be needed because the Lord will be our everlasting Light. Days of mourning shall be ended. What a wonderful day this will be! Isa. 60: 18-20 " Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise. The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended."

In the Book of Mormon I read that after the days of our probation have passed, it will be everlastingly too late to repent. If we seek for happiness in doing iniquity, we will be sorely disappointed. Wickedness is contrary to the nature of happiness. Hel. 13: 38 "But behold, your days of probation are past; ye have procrastinated the day of your salvation until it is everlastingly too late, and your destruction is made sure; yea, for ye have sought all the days of your lives for that which ye could not obtain; and ye have sought for happiness in doing iniquity, which thing is contrary to the nature of that righteousness which is in our great and Eternal Head."

A verse with a thought booklet tells us to devote ourselves to prayer, keeping watchful that we offer our thanksgivings. Remaining prayerful and full of thanks can help us live much better lives and have a more joyful attitude. Col. 4: 2 "Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;"
