Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament I read that the people were not ashamed of the sins they were committing and refused to listen to the watchmen who warned them to repent or the Lord would bring evil upon them. They rejected the words of the Lord and His law. Jer. 6: 15-19 "Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the Lord. Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken. Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them. Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it."

In the Book of Mormon I read that those who reject the fulness of the gospel, commit all kinds of sin, and are lifted up in pride, will have the gospel taken from them. 3 Ne. 16: 10 "And thus commandeth the Father that I should say unto you: At that day when the Gentiles shall sin against my gospel, and shall reject the fulness of my gospel, and shall be lifted up in the pride of their hearts above all nations, and above all the people of the whole earth, and shall be filled with all manner of lyings, and of deceits, and of mischiefs, and all manner of hypocrisy, and murders, and priestcrafts, and whoredoms, and of secret abominations; and if they shall do all those things, and shall reject the fulness of my gospel, behold, saith the Father, I will bring the fulness of my gospel from among them."

Some scriptures with a thought booklet tell about how great the works of God are, and His wonderous creations. All creatures look to the Lord to give them food at the proper time. We need to praise Him for His creations and His constant care of the universe. Ps. 104: 24-25, 27, 31 "O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season. The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works."
