Today's Favorite Verse: Song of Solomon 2:2
"The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away."
This made me think of signs before the Saviors second coming..
"Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:"
(Matthew 24:32)
The "come away" makes me think about the calls in General Conference for us to overcome the world.
"What does it mean to overcome the world? It means overcoming the temptation to care more about the things of this world than the things of God. It means trusting the doctrine of Christ more than the philosophies of men. It means delighting in truth, denouncing deception, and becoming “humble followers of Christ.” It means choosing to refrain from anything that drives the Spirit away. It means being willing to “give away” even our favorite sins".
(Russell M. Nelson, "Overcome the World and Find Rest", Oct 2022 General Conference)
