“We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is
translated correctly. We also believe
the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.” (Article of Faith #8)
This morning I read from Mormon 7. We are told about the Bible and the Book of
Mormon coming forth in the latter days.
They will be used in converting the Lamanites who we know to be the
American Indians as well as many who live on the islands of the sea.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is contained in the Book of
Mormon and can be substantiated as truth using the Bible. I am not a scriptorian, but I have a desire
to know more and keep reading daily. I
have studied to know for myself and I do know the Book of Mormon is true. The Holy Ghost has testified this to me on
numerous occasions and brings into my life a spirit that cannot be argued. It whispers peace to me when nothing around
me is peaceful. It calms me, brings me
joy and comfort in knowing the Lord has a plan and I am part of His plan. I can know how to follow that plan by reading
the scriptures and as I ask each day what the Lord would have me to do, the
spirit will (and does) guide me. I’m so
very grateful for this knowledge and nothing would bring me more joy as a
parent than to have each of my children and their children discover this for
themselves.
That said, my guide for this day is to carry on. Start each day reading from the words of the
prophets – this includes Conference Sessions of the Ensign, and align my life
with the Savior’s. I heard a quote
during a podcast I really like. “The
Lord’s Key to Success is to give the first day of the week, the first part of
the day and the first dime of every dollar to the Lord.” I really like that thought and as far as the
first part of every day goes, when it becomes habit and fixed, life is sweet.
