Walk with Me (Come, Follow Me)

"Thou shalt abide in me, and I in you; therefore walk with me" (Moses 6:34).  This invitation is to us all.

President Henry B. Eyring said,

"And what does it mean to walk with the Lord? It means to do what He does, to serve the way He serves. He sacrificed His own comforts to bless those in need, so that’s what we try to do. He seemed to take particular notice of people who were overlooked and even shunned by society, so we should try to do that too. He testified boldly yet lovingly of the true doctrine He received from His Father, even if it was unpopular, and so must we. He said to all, 'Come unto me' (Matthew 11:28), and we say to all, 'Come unto Him.'"

Peace in a World of Conflict (Come, Follow Me)

Where can we turn for peace and comfort in a world full of rage and conflict?  Our Come, Follow Me reading this week provides the answer in Moses 6:  The Only Begotten of the Father who knows all things and has all power.

Therefore it is given to abide in you; 

the record of heaven; 

the Comforter; 

the peaceable things of immortal glory; 

the truth of all things; 

that which quickeneth all things, 

which maketh alive all things; 

that which knoweth all things, 

and hath all power 

according to wisdom, mercy, truth, justice, and judgment.  

And now, behold, I say unto you: 

This is the plan of salvation unto all men, 

through the blood of mine Only Begotten

Moses 6:61-62

And in those days Satan had great dominion among men, 

and raged in their hearts; 

and from thenceforth came wars and bloodshed; 

and a man’s hand was against his own brother, 

in administering death, 

because of secret works, 

seeking for power.

Moses 6:15

The Joy of Our Redemption (Come, Follow Me)

I am grateful for the joy of an eternal perspective and for Adam and Eve, our first parents.

And Eve … was glad, saying:  Were it not for our transgression we never should have had seed, and never should have known good and evil, and the joy of our redemption, and the eternal life which God giveth unto all the obedient.
Moses 5:11
