Daily Thoughts

In the D&C we read that God gave His only Begotten Son who suffered temptations without giving any heed to them, and was crucified for our sins, rising again the third day and ascending to heaven to sit down on the right hand of God to reign with almighty power according to the will of the Father.  D&C 20:21-24 "Wherefore, the Almighty God gave his Only Begotten Son, as it is written in those scriptures which have been given of him. He suffered temptations but gave no heed unto them. He was crucified, died, and rose again the third day; And ascended into heaven, to sit down on the right hand of the Father, to reign with almighty power according to the will of the Father;"

In the Old Testament we read the foolishness of those who do wickedly and think the Lord won't know about it.  How could a God who created our eyes not be able to see what we're doing, or He who created our ears not hear?  How could He who teaches all wisdom not have knowledge Himself?  The Lord knows all our thoughts.  Psalms 94:3-11 "Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? They break in pieces thy people, O Lord, and afflict thine heritage. They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. Yet they say, The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity."

Some scriptures with a thought booklet talk about judging others because of their wealth or the clothing that they wear.  Do we discriminate against people and judge them with our evil thoughts, treating them with less respect because they don't have as much worldly wealth as someone else?  We can be grateful that the Lord doesn't judge us by our outside appearances, but rather by knowing and understanding us well.  Do we give people a chance or do we dismiss them with a quick glance?  James 2:1-4 "My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?"
