Today's Favorite Verse: Psalms 91:11-12

"For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone."

This verse was actually quoted by the devil when he tempt the Lord at the beginning of his ministry.

"And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone."

(Matthew 4:6)

Which was followed by the Lord saying

" Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."

(Matthew 4:7)

I pondered on how even Satan can quote scriptures. That we are to be ever watchful and not deceived. When on the Lord's errand angels truly will have charge over us. Then I pondered on the angel sent to the Savior in Gethsemane to strengthen him.

"And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him."

(Luke 22:43)

Today's Favorite Verse: Job 10:12-13

"Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.

And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee."

Job understand and acknowledges that what has befallen him is according to God's will. He is submissive to this, even though he still grieves. I believe even with all this the spirit is with him and gives him comfort and strength. It reminds me of an angel coming to Christ to strengthen him while in the garden of Gethsemane.

"Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him."

(Luke 22:42-43)

Today's Favorite Verse: Job 4:2

Today's Favorite Verse: Job 4:2
"If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withold himself from speaking?"

I think Eliphaz should have withheld from speaking. Even his dream wasn't something for Job, it was for himself. There was a message just for him in it. He appears to want to cast his sins on Job. Just have to feel so bad for Job that in his state of depression he is given such little comfort. Reminds me of the Savior in Gethsemane.

"And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him."
(Luke 22:43)

The Father knows how to send good gifts to his children. That is the example I need to remember when someone is down.

Today's Favorite Verse: Doctrine & Covenants 133:53, 62

"In all their afflictions he was afflicted. And the angel of his presence saved them; and in his love, and in his pity, he redeemed them, and bore them, and carried them all the days of old;

And unto him that repenteth and sanctifieth himself before the Lord shall be given eternal life.

Amazing chapter giving more concerning the Savior's Second Coming. As I read I could see these events in my mind. In this verse I could see the Savior in Gethsemane and how he experienced my every affliction. He took not only my sin, but all my grief and pain upon him there. I marveled that He even knows what it felt like to have my tooth pulled today. He truly does know me. How much greater I need to know him. I could see the angel that came and comforted Him in Gethsemane as he suffered for my pain. How many times have angels comforted me I wonder? I am sure far more times that I am even aware. How many times has he carried me? Every day of my life that I have let him. I pray I will let him carry me the rest of my days on this earth. For in his arms is where I want to stay.
