Spiritual Enlightenment 

 

BOOK OF MORMON CORNER

Today's Reading - Alma 1:1-14

Question -  What have you learnt from the reading today? What can we learn from Gideons testimony? 

Thoughts - Something that stood out to me today was this idea of natural man philosophy, it's easy to hear because it requires nothing of us. The people listened to Nehor, believed him, supported him and gave him money. But what was the fruits of his philosophy? Contention, anger, conflict and killing someone with opposing views. Gideon is a great example of someone who was confident in his testimony and clearly had the Spirit with him, for how could he admonish and withstand opposition if he didn't have the Spirit? For we know it is the Spirit which gives us the very words to say.

 

"priestcrafts are that men preach and set themselves up for a light unto the world, that they may get gain and praise of the world; but they seek not the welfare of Zion." 2 Nephi 26:29 

 

Tomorrow's Reading (Day 137) -  Alma 1:15-33 

Question - What positive behaviours do the children of God have towards others? What warnings do you notice in these verses? 

 

  

 

In the kitchen today  . . . Ham, Cheese & Egg Breakfast Roll Ups.  

 

Please could you keep my mum and sisters in your prayers today??  She fell down the stairs yesterday.  Thankfully my sister was there and could take her to the hospital (She was just getting ready to go to work.  She has a small job that she does for about 15 hours a week.  Its her only income.)   When I talked to Cindy last night, she was still in hospital, but as far as they could tell she hadn't broken anything. (Praise God)  They were keeping her in yesterday for observation and they weren't sure if it was a heart episode which had caused the fall.  She was just walking from the bathroom to the kitchen.  Its a mystery how on earth she managed to fall down the stairs, other than the fact that she had to walk by them.  My sister has bought a baby gate and put it at the top of the stairs.  I don't know if they have kept her in overnight or not, and have heard nothing more, so am hoping all is well.  Thanks!

 

Don't forget!
