Turbulent times call for desperate measures. Each of us would do whatever it takes to ensure that we and our families are protected during an earthquake, an economic upset, a serious accident, or other calamities. But are we just as eager to aggressively seek for peace? A prophet of God has recently told us how we can do that: read The Book of Mormon each day.
“If you do not have a firm testimony of these things, do that which is necessary to obtain one. It is essential for you to have your own testimony in these difficult times, for the testimonies of others will carry you only so far. However, once obtained, a testimony needs to be kept vital and alive through continued obedience to the commandments of God and through daily prayer and scripture study.
My dear associates in the work of the Lord, I implore each of us to prayerfully study and ponder the Book of Mormon each day. As we do so, we will be in a position to hear the voice of the Spirit, to resist temptation, to overcome doubt and fear, and to receive heaven’s help in our lives. I so testify with all my heart in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.”
LESSON LEARNED: Reading The Book of Mormon daily brings with it peace, protection from temptation, the influence of the Spirit, and freedom from fear.
FEEDBACK: HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED THESE BLESSINGS IN YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU ARE CONSISTENTLY READING THE BOOK OF MORMON EVERY DAY?
