Daily Thoughts

In the D&C we read the importance of loving our spouses and not committing adultery.  If we don't heed these things, we'll be cast out.  D&C 42:22-24 "Thou shalt love thy wife with all thy heart, and shalt cleave unto her and none else. And he that looketh upon a woman to lust after her shall deny the faith, and shall not have the Spirit; and if he repents not he shall be cast out. Thou shalt not commit adultery; and he that committeth adultery, and repenteth not, shall be cast out."

In the Old Testament we read that sometimes life seems unfair.  It appears that people can do evil but still have happy lives.  However, just because their punishments for sin don't always come speedily, that doesn't mean they won't come at all.  In the end, it will not be well with those who have chosen to live sinful lives, but it will be well with those who reverence the Lord.  Proverbs 8:11-13 "For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate."

A verse with a thought booklet gives us a definition of what scripture is.  From days of old, it's when holy men of God (prophets) spoke as they were moved upon by the Holy Ghost.  1 Peter 1:21 "Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God."
