The Cellphone vs. the Scriptures…what’s your choice?

I wonder what would happen if we treated our scriptures like we treat our cell phones?

What if we carried them around in our purses or pockets?
What if we turned back to go get them if we forgot them?
What if we flipped through them several times a day?
What if we spent an hour or more using them every day?
What if we used them to receive messages?
What if we treated them like we couldn't live without them?
What if we gave them to other kids as gifts?
What if we used them as we traveled? What if we used them in case of an emergency?

Where are your scriptures?

Unlike our cell phones:
One Plan does fit all.
Unlimited usage. No roaming charges.
You always have reception.
You can use it in the mountains and in a tunnel.
It's free with no hidden costs,
AND… you don't ever have to worry about your scriptures being disconnected because…

… CHRIST has already paid the bill!

 

“Our humility and our faith that invite spiritual gifts are increased by our reading, studying, and pondering the scriptures. We have all heard those words. Yet we may read a few lines or pages of scripture every day and hope that will be enough.

But reading, studying, and pondering are not the same. We read words and we may get ideas. We study and we may discover patterns and connections in scripture. But when we ponder, we invite revelation by the Spirit. Pondering, to me, is the thinking and the praying I do after reading and studying in the scriptures carefully.” – President Henry B. Eyring

These are just a few things that I came across today in my studies and wanted to share with you.  May we all cherish and treasure the word of God in our lives and read and ponder it daily!  Have you had your daily dose of spiritual power, guidance, and blessings today?  If not…take the time to be uplifted and nourished right now!  We all need it!  I love you all!  Have a great day!
