Daily Thoughts

In the D&C we read that the day the Lord comes again will soon come and we need to gird up our loins and be prepared.  Those who are not purified will not abide that day.  D&C 38:8-9 "But the day soon cometh that ye shall see me, and know that I am; for the veil of darkness shall soon be rent, and he that is not purified shall not abide the day. Wherefore, gird up your loins and be prepared. Behold, the kingdom is yours, and the enemy shall not overcome."

Some scriptures in the Old Testament warn us not to make friends with angry, furious people because we might learn their ways and it will become a snare to our souls. It's important to choose wisely the people we are going to spend time with.  We tend to become like people we're around.  Proverbs 22:24-25 "Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:  Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul."

Some verses with a thought booklet tell us that if we wait patiently for the Lord, He will hear our prayers and bring us up out of a horrible pit, setting our feet upon a rock and establish our goings. We can safely trust in the Lord, but we need to show patience because everything doesn't happen on our time table.  Psalms 40:1-2 "I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings."
