Today's Favorite Verse: Psalms 86:15
"But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth."

I reflected on how Jesus Christ embodied all of these characteristic when he came to earth. How He is the same same yesterday, today and forever.

"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."
(Hebrews 13:8)

"For he is the same yesterday, today, and forever; and the way is prepared for all men from the foundation of the world, if it so be that they repent and come unto him."
(1 Nephi 10:18)

"For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and I work not among the children of men save it be according to their faith."
(2 Nephi 27:23)

"And I do this that I may prove unto many that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and that I speak forth my words according to mine own pleasure. And because that I have spoken one word ye need not suppose that I cannot speak another; for my work is not yet finished; neither shall it be until the end of man, neither from that time henceforth and forever."
(2 Nephi 29:9)

"For do we not read that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and in him there is no variableness neither shadow of changing?"
(Mormon 9:9)

"And I would exhort you, my beloved brethren, that ye remember that he is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and that all these gifts of which I have spoken, which are spiritual, never will be done away, even as long as the world shall stand, only according to the unbelief of the children of men."
(Moroni 10:19)

Today's Favorite Verse: Genesis 41:37-39

"And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.

And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:"

Joseph interprets Pharaoh's dream and then tells him how to prepare for the coming famine. I pondered on how Pharaoh and his servants all had the spirit bare witness to them that the words of Joseph were true. That they were able to recognize the Spirit of God was with him. Everyone is born with the light of Christ within them to have these moments. Joseph had been prepared in advance for leadership roles. He rises in Potiphar's household, in prison he is the keeper of the prison. Not only did Joseph live his life to have the spirit to be with him, all that he did while in bondage spoke of his character. I reflected on how important our character is in opening that door, for our words spoken by the spirit to be believed.
