Arise and Shine Forth

Fam,

I love the second chapter of Mosiah. King Benjamin was very wise and shared many valuable lessons. The whole chapter is great. It is here that he discusses our eternal indebtedness to God. Mosiah 2 :22-24

The gospel of Jesus Christ has the answers to facing life's challenges. Being an example of what is right may be the best strategy of all. Consider the following blessings that so abundantly manifest themselves when we choose the right:
• It helps those who see your example
• It blesses those you serve when you do what is right
• It strengthens your testimony
• Your love and appreciation for the Savior Jesus Christ grow and mature
• You're blessed for following the commandments Doctrine and Covenants 130:20
• It furthers the work of God

In the Doctrine and Covenants, the Savior states "Wherefore, verily I say unto you that all things unto me are spiritual, and not at any time have I given unto you a law which was temporal...

How can this be? Isn't the Word of Wisdom, for instance, a temporal commandment? Or the law of tithing? Not really... Let's analyze this Providing in the Lord's Way. Like two sides of a coin, the temporal and spiritual are inseparable.

We will study these principles in the weeks to come and derive benefits from the truths found therein.

Arise and shine forth, that thy light may be a standard for the nations

I love you, dad
