Selfishness Is The Root Of Great Evil.

A Knowledge Of Truth Is Of Little Value Unless Lived In Full Measure.

When We Seek Inspiration To Help Make Decisions, The Lord Gives Gentle Promptings. These Require Us To Think, To Exercise Faith, To Work, To Struggle At Times And To Act. Seldom Does The Whole Answer To A Decisively Important Matter Or Complex Problem Come All At Once. More Often, It Comes A Piece At A Time, Without The End In Sight.

Be Wise And Don't Let Good Things Crowd Out Those That Are Essential.

I Know That Every Difficulty We Face In Life, Even Those That Come From Our Own Negligence Or Even Transgression, Can Be Turned By The Lord Into Growth Experiences, A Virtual Ladder Upward. I Certainly Do Not Recommend Transgression As A Path To Growth. It Is Painful, Difficult, And So Totally Unnecessary. It Is Far Wiser And So Much Easier To Move Forward In Righteousness. But Through Proper Repentance, Faith In The Lord Jesus Christ, And Obedience To His Commandments, Even The Disappointment That Comes From Transgression Can Be Converted Into A Return To Happiness.

Are There So Many Fascinating, Exciting Things To Do Or So Many Challenges Pressing Down Upon You That It Is Hard To Keep Focused On That Which Is Essential? When Things Of The World Crowd In, All Too Often The Wrong Things Take Highest Priority. Then It Is Easy To Forget The Fundamental Purpose Of Life. Satan Has A Powerful Tool To Use Against Good People. It Is Distraction. He Would Have Good People Fill Life With 'good Things' So There Is No Room For The Essential Ones. Have You Unconsciously Been Caught In That Trap?
