Thought of the day

We need to remember that God wants us to receive eternal happiness. It is so important that we learn to trust in Him. He will guide, comfort, strengthen, lift, help,tutor, and bless us if we allow him to. There are many accounts in the scriptures concerning people who have put their trust in him and have been supported in their trials and have become stronger for it. Remember Danial, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego who was asked to partake of King Nebuchadnezzar food which was not good for their bodies? They knew that God cared about what they put into their bodies, so they refused to take in this harmful food. The account in the scriptures tells us that because they trusted in God's law of health; they were wiser and healthier than the other youth in the kings courts.Think also about the fishermen who were by the Sea of Galilee, Christ told them to follow him and he would make them fishers of men. They trusted God, and straightway followed Him. They ended up becoming his disciples, and received all the blessings promised to those who bring forth His light. Joseph Smith also trusted in God and knew from reading the account in James chapter one verse 5, that if he wanted wisdom he would have to ask God. We know that this is exactly what he did. Joseph prayed to know which church to join and was given an answer, which led him to restore Christ's church on the earth again. Now, because of his trust we have been blessed to receive the necessary ordinances, which will help prepare us to enter back into His presence some day. I know that God loves each of us and that he is no respecter of people. He only cares for our eternal welfare. We just need to trust in Him and His words, so that we can be strengthened, blessed, comforted, and led to a far greater way of life now and in the eternities.
