His glory covered the heavens (Come, Follow Me)

I love these words from Habakkuk 3:4-6.  Whenever I see new images from the Webb or Hubble telescopes, I see the evidence of God's power and love.

His glory covered the heavens,
And his brightness was as the light
His ways are everlasting

Light and Truth (Come, Follow Me)

I am grateful for light and truth given to us as we diligently heed the words of a loving Savior.  These verses in Doctrine and Covenants 84:43-46 bring me hope that hearkening to the word of God can bring me greater enlightenment, so needed in this darkening world.

Give diligent heed to the words of eternal life.

For you shall live by every word that proceedeth forth from the mouth of God.

For the word of the Lord is truth, and whatsoever is truth is light, and whatsoever is light is Spirit, even the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

And the Spirit giveth light to every man that cometh into the world; and the Spirit enlighteneth every man through the world, that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit.

The Father of Lights (Come, Follow Me)

On the same day I read D&C 67:9, I also saw this quote from President Nelson:

Wisdom is to be found in pure intelligence—in that divine light which can guide people in all countries, all climes, and all continents.

I love the imagery of light and how it can guide us to righteousness and wisdom.

"that which is righteous cometh down from above, from the Father of lights."

A Loftier Perspective (Russell M. Nelson)

Looking up to God has always enabled me to grow and see life with a more eternal perspective.

Trees reach up for the light

and grow in the process.

So do we

as sons and daughters

of heavenly parents. 

Facing upward provides

a loftier perspective….

Russell M. Nelson

That which is of God is light (Come, Follow Me)

From our Come, Follow Me reading this week (D&C 49-50):

That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day.
Doctrine and Covenants 50:24
