Oct 29- Mormon 4-5 Oct 29, 2020

Show notes

Here, Mormon tells us that the Lord had told him, that the people of his day were the most wicked group there had ever been! That is HUGE! They were more wicked than those who crucified Christ. More wicked than any previous generation of Nephites. How did they get there? A couple scriptures in chapters 4 and 5 give us one clue. Their reliance on themselves left no room for them to have any faith or hope in Heavenly Father. But as you an I come to know Heavenly Father more, the better able we are to rely on Him.

Oct 28 Mormon 3:3&12 Oct 28, 2020

Show notes

Here, Mormon sets a perfect example of the Savior and our Father in Heaven. Mormon has a up close and personal view of the wickedness of his people, but despite that wickedness, Mormon's heart is filled with love for them. I feel like sometimes when we are less than we want to be, we impose limits on the love that Heavenly Father has for us. The scriptures are filled with witnesses that no matter how far we are from Him He is always near to us, and always loves us with a perfect love.

Oct 27- Mormon 2:12-15 Oct 27, 2020

Show notes

In these verses Mormon teaches us about 2 types of sorrow. A selfish sorrow for our own losses, or a godly sorrow that leads to lasting change. But even more importantly, he teaches us that when things are hard, that when the world is feeling pretty bleak, that when the trials of life feel crushing, we can find joy and our hearts can rejoice as we place our focus on the mercy and long-suffering of the Lord.

Oct 26- Mormon 1:15 Oct 26, 2020

Show notes

When Mormon was 15 years old he was visited by the Savior. After coming to know the Savior in such a close personal way he said the he "tasted and knew of the goodness of Jesus." I love that phrase so much! What better way to describe the feeling of redemption, the feeling of grace, the feeling of the Savior's all encompassing love. As you go throughout your day today I challenge you to ask yourself when you have tasted and knew of the goodness of Jesus. I testify of His grace, I testify of His love, I testify of His goodness, because I have tasted it and felt it as I have come to know Him better.

Oct 25- Mormon 1:2-5 Oct 25, 2020

Show notes

I have always been so impressed of the description given of 10 year old Mormon here! Sober, and quick to observe. But what do those things really mean? And why is it so important for us to try and receive those same gifts of the Spirit?

Oct 24- 4th Nephi 17-18 Oct 24, 2020

Show notes

This is one of my favorite verses in 4th Nephi. There were no -ites among them! What a powerful lesson we can learn from that small phrase. This last week I saw one of my youth leaders and dear friends. As she was introducing me to her friend she described me as a teenager as always being inclusive. I was grateful she saw fit to describe me that way instead of with all of my not quite so desirable teenage traits! But I was even more grateful that that was a way she felt I could be described. I hope that same thing can be said of me now! If at my funeral I am eulogized and nothing can be said of me other than, "She was kind and inclusive," I will consider that a life well lived.

Oct 23- 4th Nephi 1:15 Oct 23, 2020

Show notes

As we study the society of 4th Nephi and try to learn what made them the happiest "people among all the people who had been created by the hand of God," it would be impossible not to notice how many times it is pointed out that there was no contention among the people. Verse 15 also teaches us that we can rid ourselves of contention as we fill our hearts with the love of God. Because I have to believe that when all is said and done, the Lord is far less concerned with the way we think than He is with the way we love.

Oct 22- 4th Nephi 1:11 Oct 22, 2020

Show notes

The book of 4th Nephi is INCREDIBLE! The people were incredible, the society they built was incredible and the joy of the people was incredible! As we study the book of 4th Nephi I wanted to focus our attention on the things that the people did and didn't do to make them such a happy and righteous people. One of those things is found in verse 11. "They were married and given in marriage." Now I am sure that their marriages weren't an automatic ticket to joy, just as marriage isn't an automatic ticket to joy now. But the quality of our marriages and the work we put into them, can certainly add to the joy we feel.

Oct 21- 3rd Nephi 28-29 Oct 21, 2020

Show notes

I love so much that the Lord asks His disciples what they desired of Him. I love that the Lord is anxious for us to express our desires to Him and anxious to bless us with the righteous desires of our hearts.

Oct 20- 3rd Nephi 27:19, 27-29 Oct 20, 2020

Show notes

When the Savior commands that we ought to be as He is, it can feel a bit overwhelming and impossible. I am nowhere near there. However, even though becoming like Him is a lifelong pursuit, we can follow the charge he gives in the very next verses. We can ask for the Christlike gifts we are seeking. And we can have faith that God will bless us with the righteous desires of our hearts.
