Daily Thoughts

In the D&C we read that if we are humble the Lord will lead us by the hand and give us answer to our prayers.  D&C 112: 10 "Be thou humble; and the Lord thy God shall lead thee by the hand, and give thee answer to thy prayers."

In the New Testament Jesus told His disciples that they would be hated by all men for His sake, but if they would endure to the end, they would be saved.  It seems strange that all down through the ages, prophets of God as well as humble followers of Christ have been hated and persecuted. But those who endure such unfair treatment will receive eternal life.  Matthew 10:22 "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved."

Some verses with a thought booklet tell us that the love of money is the root of all evil and can prove to be a snare and temptation to the rich and lead to their destruction and sorrow. We come into this world with nothing and we leave with nothing.  While we're here, if we have enough food to eat and clothing to wear, we should be content.  1 Timothy 6:7-10 "For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."
