We are so blessed to have temples on the earth today where we can hear the word of the Lord.
Hear the word of the Lord, all ye ... that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord.
- Jeremiah 7:2

When we don't take time to hear the word of the Lord, we risk forsaking God, the fountain of living water.
Hear ye the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob
- Jeremiah 2:4

As I listen to general conference talks and study Come, Follow Me, I find the Lord's word enriching my heart and mind. I'm so grateful that the heavens are open!
10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
- Isaiah 55:10-11
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.
