“I believe that
neglecting to study the scriptures on a regular basis is a form of hardening
our hearts. I fear that if we persist in that course, we will be given a lesser
portion of the word and eventually know nothing of God’s mysteries. Drinking
daily from the scriptures, on the other hand, will help us build spiritual
strength and knowledge, unmask the deceptions of the devil, and discover the
snares he has laid to catch us.
“Ask yourselves the following questions, I invite you to
allow the Holy Ghost to speak to your mind and heart:
·
Do I take time to study the scriptures every
day?
·
If not, what excuse do I have for not doing so?
·
Will my excuse be acceptable to the Lord?
“ I challenge you to commit to reading the scriptures daily.
Do not go to bed tonight until you have read. As you read, there will come to
you a greater desire to do the will of the Lord and to make changes in your
life.”
Elder Michael John U. Teh, “The Power of the Word of God,”
Ensign, Mar 2013, 53.
