Daily Thoughts

In the P of GP we read that Joseph Smith married Emma Hale.  Her family was much opposed to the marriage because of his continuing to assert that he had seen visions from God.  So after their marriage they returned to Joseph's family and he farmed with his father for the season.  Joseph Smith History 1:57-58 "During the time that I was thus employed, I was put to board with a Mr. Isaac Hale, of that place; it was there I first saw my wife (his daughter), Emma Hale. On the 18th of January, 1827, we were married, while I was yet employed in the service of Mr. Stoal. Owing to my continuing to assert that I had seen a vision, persecution still followed me, and my wife's father's family were very much opposed to our being married. I was, therefore, under the necessity of taking her elsewhere; so we went and were married at the house of Squire Tarbill, in South Bainbridge, Chenango county, New York. Immediately after my marriage, I left Mr. Stoal's, and went to my father's, and farmed with him that season."

In the New Testament we read that Jesus Christ bore the sins of many and to those who look for Him, He will appear a second time, without sin unto salvation.  Christ will come again!  Hebrews 9:28 "So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation."

A verse with a thought booklet tells us that every good and perfect gift we have come from God, who never changes.  We can count on Him, and have so much to thank Him for!  James 1:17 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."
