Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament we're told that those who plow wickedness, reap iniquity, and who trust in their own ways or the ways of men will have a tumult arise among them and be cut off, because of their wickedness. Hosea 10: 13-15 "Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men. Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Beth-arbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children. So shall Beth-el do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off."

In the D&C I read that those who are honest ahd humble will be accepted by the Lord. D&C 97: 8 "Verily I say unto you, all among them who know their hearts are honest, and are broken, and their spirits contrite, and are willing to observe their covenants by sacrifice—yea, every sacrifice which I, the Lord, shall command—they are accepted of me."

A verse with a thought booklet tells us that Jesus is the Light of the world and if we follow Him, we will never have to walk in darkness. Have you ever tried to walk along an unfamiliar path at night without even a flashlight to guide you? What a scary thing to do. You're at great risk for losing your way or even stumbling and falling. This is how we stumble and fall through life if we don't have the true Light to guide us. If we're willing to follow the Lord, He will light our path. John 8: 12 "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
