574. Great scriptures and quotes from Pres. Spencer W. Kimball, and Pres. Harold B. Lee

We had a wonderful Stake Conference today!  I'll write up my notes, and post them tomorrow.  These thoughts below are great for Sunday!

Latter Day Light DAILY DEVOTIONAL January 7, 2016 Hold On

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Helaman 5:12 "And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."

QUOTE OF THE DAY Spencer W. Kimball "We see about us constant change. Even the pace of life itself has speeded up. Sometimes it seems that the world is undergoing such throes of change that people are disoriented, not knowing what is of value. Right and wrong, however, are as they always were. The principles of the gospel are unaltered. All of men's evil speaking and all of men's evil acting cannot alter one jot or tittle of the commandments of God. "The forces of good are clearly and continually under attack. There are times when it seems the world is almost drowning in a flood of filth and degradation. And I want to cry out, 'Hold on! Hold on to what is right and true. Therein is safety. Don't let yourself be swept away' ("Hold Fast to the Iron Rod," Ensign, November 1978).

Latter Day Light DAILY DEVOTIONAL January 6, 2016 Personal Revelation

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY 3 Nephi 11:5 "And again the third time they did hear the voice, and did open their ears to hear it; and their eyes were towards the sound thereof; and they did look steadfastly towards heaven, from whence the sound came."

QUOTE OF THE DAY Harold B. Lee "The most important thing you can do is to learn to talk to God. Talk to Him as you would talk to your father, for He is your Father, and He wants you to talk to Him. He wants you to cultivate ears to listen, when He gives you the impressions of the Spirit to tell you what to do. If you learn to give heed to the sudden ideas which come to your minds, you will find those things coming through in the very hour of your need. If you will cultivate an ear to hear these promptings, you will have learned to walk by the spirit of revelation" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Harold B. Lee, p. 148).
