Daily Thoughts

In the Book of Mormon the question is asked:  How can a people who delight in wickedness expect that God will stay His hand in judgment against them?  Moroni 9:13-14 "But O my son, how can a people like this, whose delight is in so much abomination— How can we expect that God will stay his hand in judgment against us?"


In the Old Testament we read about the great suffering that Job went through.  He spent weary nights tossing and turning, his skin was full of worms and dust, and his days were spent without hope.  What a sad state he was in!  Job 7:3-6 "So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me. When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day. My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome. My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope."

A verse with a thought booklet tells us that it is better to be righteous and have little in the way of worldly goods than to have great wealth without righteousness.  Money is of no eternal value and if it is the main emphasis of our lives, we'll end up with very disappointing results in the eternities.  Proverbs 16:8 "Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right."
