Today's Favorite Verse: Genesis 19:10-11

"But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.

And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door."

This chapter is really important to read the Joseph Smith Translation, otherwise you will wonder why God even wanted to save Lot and his family.

The part where the angels of God pull Lot into the house and shut the door has great symbolism. We are at the point where we have to keep the world out of our homes. Those that are outside the door, and part of the world are spiritually blind, and want nothing better than for you to join them.

When you walk in darkness and are not looking towards the true messengers of God, you will weary yourself looking for truth in the eyes of the world. You are open to following the words of false prophets. I can just picture these blind men feeling along the walls trying to find the door. You will just miss the mark, and not recognize what is right in front of you, if you are not following the living prophet. In the beginning you may thing you are taking in the wisdom of the world, and so open minded, even if your personal revelation is counter to the prophet's. You will believe that truth is your truth. In reality you are blinded to the true messengers of God and what they are saying.
