Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

D&C 25

The Lord said to Emma Smith -

"...lift up thy heart and rejoice, and cleave unto the covenants which thou hast made.
14 Continue in the spirit of meekness, and beware of pride. Let thy soul delight in thy husband, and the glory which shall come upon him.
15 Keep my commandments continually, and a crown of righteousness thou shalt receive. And except thou do this, where I am you cannot come."  (Doctrine and Covenants 25:13–15)

I feel the Lord is suggesting that when we are related to someone that may be in callings of great importance, we should delight in it but not take pride in it but act with all meekness for the Lord concluded these instructions with -

"...verily, verily, I say unto you, that this is my voice unto all..."  (Doctrine and Covenants 25:16)
