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 67

 I found it instructive this morning as I read -

"Ye endeavored to believe that ye should receive the blessing which was offered unto you; but behold, verily I say unto you there were fears in your hearts, and verily this is the reason that ye did not receive."  (Doctrine and Covenants 67:3)

In my mind, these saints desired a blessing (which the Lord did not tell us what is was), and because they "feared in their hearts" they did not receive it.  How many of us have been given callings and prayed sincerely for help, but our heart was full of fear?
