Daily Thoughts

In the D&C we read that miracles follow those who believe and show forth their faith.  D&C 35:8-9 "For I am God, and mine arm is not shortened; and I will show miracles, signs, and wonders, unto all those who believe on my name. And whoso shall ask it in my name in faith, they shall cast out devils; they shall heal the sick; they shall cause the blind to receive their sight, and the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak, and the lame to walk."

In the Old Testament we read the a prideful and haughty spirit will cause us to fall and will reap destruction.  It is better to be humble and lowly than to divide spoil with the proud.  Proverbs 16:18-19 "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud."

A verse with a thought booklet reminds us that death is swallowed up in victory.  When we lose loved ones we miss them terribly and we grieve because they are no longer with us.  But that isn't the end of the story.  They still do live!  And we will be able to see them again.  Christ's atonement provides the way for us to be resurrected.  He provides the victory over death.  1 Corinthians 15:54 "So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory."
