Daily Thoughts

In the Book of Mormon we read more of Isaiah's words. We should follow after righteousness and look unto Abraham and Sarah. The Lord will comfort Zion and bring joy and gladness.  2 Nephi 8:1-3 "Hearken unto me, ye that follow after righteousness. Look unto the rock from whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit from whence ye are digged.  Look unto Abraham, your father, and unto Sarah, she that bare you; for I called him alone, and blessed him. For the Lord shall comfort Zion, he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord. Joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving and the voice of melody."

In the Old Testament we read that Joshua read all the words of the law, both blessings and cursings, to the people.  He read all the words that Moses had commanded.  Joshua 8:34-35 "And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law.  There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them."

In some scriptures with a thought booklet we read about how during a drought the Lord told Elijah to go ahnd hide himself by the brook Cherith where he could drink from the brook and the Lord would send ravens to him morning and evening to bring him bread and meat to eat.  The Lord took care of Him, and He will take care of us as we trust in Him.  And sometimes He sends us to be the ravens for other people in their time of need.  1 Kings 17:2-6 "And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.  And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.  So he went and did according unto the word of the Lord: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.  And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook."
