Daily Thoughts


In the D&C we read that the gospel will be preached to every kindred, tongue and people.  The hour of judgment will come.  We need to call upon God day and night.  D&C 133:37-40 "And this gospel shall be preached unto every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people.  And the servants of God shall go forth, saying with a loud voice: Fear God and give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment is come; And worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters—  Calling upon the name of the Lord day and night, saying: O that thou wouldst rend the heavens, that thou wouldst come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence."

In the New Testament we read that Jesus withdrew Himself and went into the wilderness to pray.  Even Jesus needed to go and find a quiet, private place to pray and commune with His Father.  We likewise need to try to find a quiet place, away from noise and people and TV's where we can talk to our Father in Heaven and listen for the still, small voice.  Luke 5:16 "And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed."

In a verse with a thought booklet we read that we should be of one mind and live in peace with one another, and the God of love and peace will be with us and comfort us.  2 Corinthians 13:11 "Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you."
