n the D&C we read if we truly love the Lord, we'll serve Him and keep His commandments. D&C 42:29 "If thou lovest me thou shalt serve me and keep all my commandments."
In the Old Testament we read that it is the whole duty of man to reverence God and keep His commandments. Ecclesiastes 12:13 "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."
Some scriptures with a thought booklet talk about remembering all the wonderful works the Lord has done down through the ages, and meditating and talking about them. In today's world there is much we can think about. The media and the Internet flood us with information. At the click of a mouse we can find out what our favorite movie star is up to or what is happening on the other side of the world. But how much time do we spend thinking about the Lord and all He has done for us? Do we meditate upon all the blessings He has given us? Quiet time we spend in contemplation of the marvelous works of God can make all the difference in our lives, and can bring us peace in a troubled world. Psalms 77:11-12 " I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings."
