Daily Thoughts

In the Book of Mormon we read Nephi's rebuke of the people who were blind and stiffnecked.  He told them they ought to howl and mourn because of the great destruction that would await them unless they repented. Alma 9:21-22 "Having been visited by the Spirit of God; having conversed with angels, and having been spoken unto by the voice of the Lord; and having the spirit of prophecy, and the spirit of revelation, and also many gifts, the gift of speaking with tongues, and the gift of preaching, and the gift of the Holy Ghost, and the gift of translation; Yea, and after having been delivered of God out of the land of Jerusalem, by the hand of the Lord; having been saved from famine, and from sickness, and all manner of diseases of every kind; and they having waxed strong in battle, that they might not be destroyed; having been brought out of bondage time after time, and having been kept and preserved until now; and they have been prospered until they are rich in all manner of things—"

In the Old Testament I read that Saul was buried and David was anointed king.  2 Samuel 2:4 "And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabesh-gilead were they that buried Saul."

A verse with a thought booklet talks about having the Lord test and try us, and examine our heart and mind. This life is a test, and indeed the Lord can see into our hearts and minds and knows our every thought.  Is He pleased with what He sees?  Psalms 26: 2 "Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart."
