And No Man Taketh This Honour Unto Himself

Today's scripture ...

 "For every high priest taken from among men is ^aordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and^bsacrifices for sins:

"Who can have ^acompassion on the ignorant, and on them that are ^bout of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.

"And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for ^asins.

"And no man taketh this ^ahonour unto himself, but he that is^bcalled of God, as was ^cAaron." (italicized by me)

                  -- Hebrews 5:1-4 (from reading in Hebrews 5 and Mormon 3)

Be Proud Of Who You Are, And Not Ashamed Of How Someone Else Sees You.

Today's scripture ...

"For the ^aword of God is ^bquick, and powerful, and sharper than any  
 two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a ^fdiscerner of the             ^gthoughts and ^hintents of! the heart."

                     -- Hebrews 4:12

If You Cannot Do Great Things, Do Small Things In A Great Way

Today's scripture ... especially beautiful words to me today ...

"God, who ^aat sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the ^bfathers by the ^cprophets,

"Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his ^aSon, whom he hath ^bappointed ^cheir of all things, by whom also he ^dmade the^eworlds;

"Who being the brightness of his ^aglory, and the express image of his ^bperson, and upholding all things by the word of his ^cpower,when he had by himself ^dpurged our sins, sat down on the ^erighthand of the ^fMajesty on high;"

                  -- Hebrews 1:1-3

My Idea Of Utopia

Today's scripture ...

"And it came to pass that there was no ^acontention in the land, because of the ^blove of God which did dwell in the hearts of the people.

 "And there were no ^aenvyings, nor ^bstrifes, nor ^ctumults, nor whoredoms, nor lyings, nor murders, nor any manner of^dlasciviousness; and surely there could not be a ^ehappier people among all the people who had been created by the hand of God."

                  -- 4 Nephi 1:15-16

What is the first and great commandment, and the second one like unto it?  Could it really be that simple (and take that level of total commitment) to achieve Utopia?

The Temptation To Quit Will Be Greatest Just Before ...

Thought for today ...

"Be certain that every decision you make, whether temporal or spiritual, is conditioned on what the Savior would have you do. When He is the center of your home, there is peace and serenity. There is a spirit of assurance that pervades the home, and it is felt by all who dwell there."

—Richard G. Scott, "For Peace at Home"

From reading in 3 Nephi 30, Titus 1-3, and more.

Perilous Times Have Come

Today's scripture ...

"This know also, that in the ^alast days perilous ^btimes shall come.

"For men shall be lovers of their own selves, ^acovetous, boasters,^bproud, blasphemers, ^cdisobedient to parents, ^dunthankful, unholy,

"Without ^anatural ^baffection, ^ctrucebreakers, ^dfalse accusers,^eincontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

^"aTraitors, ^bheady, ^chighminded, lovers of ^dpleasures more than lovers of God;

"Having a ^aform of godliness, but ^bdenying the power thereof: from such turn away.

"Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."

                   -- 2 Timothy 3:1-5, 7

If Your Actions Inspire Others To Dream, Learn, Do, and Become ... You Are A Leader

Thought for today, from reading in 3 Nephi 27 and 1 Timothy 5-6 ...

"And whoso taketh upon him my name, and ^aendureth to the end, the same shall be saved at the last day.

"Therefore, whatsoever ye shall do, ye shall do it in my name; therefore ye shall call the church in my name; and ye shall call upon the Father in my name that he will bless the church for my sake.

"And it came to pass that when Jesus had ended these sayings he said unto his disciples: Enter ye in at the ^astrait gate; for strait  is the gate, and narrow is the way that leads to life, and few   there be that find it; but wide is the gate, and broad the way   which leads to death, and many there be that travel therein,   until the night cometh, wherein no man can work."

                     -- 3 Nephi 27:6-7,33
