and the stuff all precious things are made of,

if you honor it enough. Every crooked path

got you here. You are beautiful.

Own your story. Celebrate it.

Spiritual Enlightenment 

 

BOOK OF MORMON CORNER - Today's Reading - 2 Nephi 18:1-22

 Question - What have you learnt from the reading today?  

 

My Thoughts -The first passage that stuck out to me in today’s reading was “Sanctify the Lord of Hosts himself, and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread”. I think “fear” and “dread” here mean that we ought to reverence and respect God above all others. This means we would care more about what God thinks of us, than what others think, and also I think it means we would hold sacred the things that come from God. “I will wait upon the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him”  I think this is an expression of faith. Isaiah is saying that although God’s hand and favour is not apparent right now in the affairs of his country, he trusts that he is there and he will continue in the right course none the less. We are often called upon to do the same in our lives, continuing in the course of the gospel patiently, even when we struggle to see the hand of God in what we are going through. I’m sure that in most cases it probably isn’t God that we are waiting for, but for ourselves grow in understanding and in our ability to see. 

 

Tomorrow's Reading (Day 57) - 2 Nephi 19:1-20:11 

Question - What have you learnt from the reading today? How do you combat pride, errant leaders, wickedness and neglecting the poor & needy? 

 

 

 

In The English Kitchen today  . . .  Dutch Almond Cookies.  Scrumptious! 

 

I hope you have a wonderful Friday.  Whatever you get up to don't forget!
