Daily Thoughts

In the D&C we read that the earth is full and there is enough and to spare, but men are to be agents unto themselves and those who have been blessed with an abundance need to be willing to share with the poor and the needy.  If he refuses to do so, he will lift up his eyes in hell with the wicked, being in torment.  That's a pretty hefty punishment for being unwilling to share what we have with those in need.  D&C 104:17-18 "For the earth is full, and there is enough and to spare; yea, I prepared all things, and have given unto the children of men to be agents unto themselves. Therefore, if any man shall take of the abundance which I have made, and impart not his portion, according to the law of my gospel, unto the poor and the needy, he shall, with the wicked, lift up his eyes in hell, being in torment."

In the Old Testament that the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, just like the waters cover the sea.  Habakkuk 2:14 "For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

In some verses with a thought booklet we're told that the Lord will help us and preserve us.  He made the heaven and the earth.  Someone that powerful can certainly come to our aid.  He never slumbers or sleeps, but will preserve our comings and goings at all times.  Psalms 121:1-8 "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.  The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.  The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.  The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore."
