992. Inspiring Thoughts for today! Aren't our Church leaders inspiring and amazing men!
Some inspiring thoughts for your day. Also a link to a talk by Elder Dieter Uchtdorf -- We all love him, and will miss hearing from him as much, but he is still an Apostle, and we will hear a lot from him in the future. I'm sure the Lord needs him in important new assignments that he probably couldn't do in the First Presidency. And we love President Dallin H. Oakes! Things are right in our true Church! Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father do lead all that happens here!

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
Doctrine & Covenants 21:4-5
"Wherefore, meaning the church, thou shalt give heed unto all his words and commandments which he shall give unto you as he receiveth them, walking in all holiness before me; for his word ye shall receive, as if from mine own mouth, in all patience and faith. For by doing these things the gates of hell shall not prevail against you; yea, and the Lord God will disperse the powers of darkness from before you, and cause the heavens to shake for your good, and his name's glory."

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Harold B. Lee
"Look to the President of the Church for your instructions. If ever there is a conflict, you keep your eyes on the President if you want to walk in the light. . . .
"Sometimes we die spiritually and cut ourselves off from pure spiritual light and forget that today, here and now, we have a prophet" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Harold B. Lee, p. 85, 86). |

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
Joseph Fielding Smith
"We must believe in Christ and pattern our lives after him. We must be baptized as he was baptized. We must worship the Father as he did. We must do the will of the Father as he did. We must seek to do good and work righteousness as he did. He is our Exemplar, the great Prototype of salvation" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Fielding Smith, p. 55).
