Today's Favorite Verse: Luke 9:2, 6

Today's Favorite Verse: Luke 9:2, 6
"And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where."

What stood out to me is the Jesus sent the apostles out to not only preach the gospel, but to also heal the sick. I pondered on why healing the sick? Is it because it's hard to listen when you're sick, take care of temporal needs before the spirit can be feed. Was it to show service? As I thought of all these reasons the thought that came to mind was "by their fruits shall ye know them:" I think that must be it. They were doing good works in Jesus name. This is how the Spirit could testify that they had power and authority through Jesus Christ.

Today's Favorite Verse: 2 Chronicles 7:14

Today's Favorite Verse: 2 Chronicles 7:14
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

I pondered how these words the Lord gave to Solomon apply to us today. We are to humble ourselves, pray and seek the Lord. We are seek forgiveness of our sins and He will grant it. Our land needs much healing and only these things will heal it.

Today's Favorite Verse: Matthew 25:29

Today's Favorite Verse: Matthew 25:29
"For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath."

This is the parable of the talents. The Lord gave 5, 2 and 1 talent. The one that receive 5 doubled it to 10. He that had 2 doubled to 4. The person with 1 talent hid it and didn't even get usury for it. That one talent was taken from him and given to the person that had ten. It was the word usury that made me pause. It sounds so much like "used". The talent was not used and buried. That made me think of the scriptures how they are worth more than all the treasures of the earth. How if we don't use them we will lose even the knowledge that we have.

I've experienced this with scripture reading. There have been long stretches where my scriptures gathered dust sitting proudly on the shelf. No different than being being placed in the earth. I wasn't even getting usury from them. Oh, I knew they were important, even a treasure, but there they sat.

Eventually, I would dust them off and begin to read. At that point I would say I was a two talent scripture reader. I went through the motions. I got something from them, but it wasn't a great investment of effort. Yet, it was better than nothing. There is merit in the least of efforts. The Lord counts effort. Then eventually I would stop reading the scriptures and turn back to a one talent scripture holder. The knowledge gained over time would just faded away. I have lived this cycle the majority of my life.

Then I had such a great desire to really read the scriptures, and made a commitment to do so. The trouble was, I was just getting over an illness and could not read and comprehend. The doctor told me that I needed to read out loud so my brain could see the words and hear it, to make those connections. The perfect solution was to listen to the scriptures and follow along reading the words. It was many years of daily reading and listening and giving it my all. Yet, I didn't retain even a fraction of what I read, but I felt the spirit. It took me three years before my brain was healed well enough to read and comprehend on my own. When someone tells me they can't read and comprehend the scriptures I think, but you haven't tried. The Lord healed me, he can heal you. How much do you really want to be healed?

I have remained faithful to my commitment to daily read the scripture. The years I have put into studying and pondering the scriptures has developed such a love for them that they are the highlight of my day. I love seeing the harmony and consistency in the scriptures, how each set of scriptures builds upon another. I think these years of scripture study has made me five talents more. The beautiful thing about this story is once you have ten talents the Lord will still give you more.

Today's Favorite Verse: Hosea 11:3

Today's Favorite Verse: Hosea 11:3
"I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them."

How would you not know the Lord healed you? The footnote verses remind us of the covenants made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. How fiery flying serpents over came them. Because of the ease of the way many didn't not look and live. It appears when the Lord performs a miracle we need to keep it in our hearts and acknowledge him.

Today's Favorite Verse: Lamentations 3:32-33

Today's Favorite Verse: Lamentations 3:32-33
"But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men".

This made me think of the story of Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from the dead. It was part of our family scriptures this week in Come, Follow Me.

"When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him."
(John 11:6, 14-15)

Jesus tarried until he knew Lazarus was dead. He knew the grief that Martha and Mary would experience from this. Jesus himself wept. How hard it must have been for him to stay his hand and not immediately go and heal Lazarus. Yet, he knew that there was a greater lesson here for all. Mary and Martha would have their testimonies of the divinity of Jesus Christ strengthened. Jesus apostles would have a deeper understanding of what was to come. They would know in coming weeks that Jesus would rise again from the dead. Sometimes we have to face grief, so we can learn greater things when Jesus shows mercy upon us. Why do bad things happen to good people? For the intent that we may believe. It is through Christ that all our wounds are healed.

Today's Favorite Verse: Psalms 118:13, 23

Today's Favorite Verse: Psalms 118:13, 23
"Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.
This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes."

I found so many verses in this chapter that applied to what transpired today. I even had someone quote me a different verse. Interesting how that works out. I chose these two verses as a recap of what I felt today. I felt protected and watched over. I marveled at the timing of different events that had taken place. They built upon each other to build a strong case against someone that tried to cause great harm. I really do marvel at how things have turned out. The Lord has truly helped me. Someone trying to cause harm has actually brought great healing to others, because they failed.

Today's Favorite Verse: Psalms 43:5
"Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God."

I pondered on depression and how placing your hope in God heals. How hope in God does reflect in a person's countenance. You can see it in the face and in their eyes. There are times you can just look at a person and know they are a member of the church.

Today's Favorite Verse: Psalms 8:5

Today's Favorite Verse: Psalms 8:5
"For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour."

I pondered on how we don't always know our potential and who we really are. Looking back at my life I realize how little I thought of my potential when I was in high school. If I had applied myself I would have realized how smart I really was. It took going to college later in life to see that in myself. What I would have even lost today if I hadn't committed almost twelve years ago to read the scriptures every day. It was not an easy thing to do. After having been so sick I had lost the ability to read and comprehend. Listening to recordings of the scriptures and trying to read along helped heal my brain. Where would I be if I had just given up and thought I had no potential? What a journey and adventure this has been. I do not want to stand before the Father and look back at my life and wish I had applied myself a little better. I want to reach my full eternal potential.

Today's Favorite Verse: Doctrine & Covenants 127:2

Today's Favorite Verse: Doctrine & Covenants 127:2

"And as for the perils which I am called to pass through, they seem but a small thing to me, as the envy and wrath of man have been my common lot all the days of my life; and for what cause it seems mysterious, unless I was ordained from before the foundation of the world for some good end, or bad, as you may choose to call it. Judge ye for yourselves. God knoweth all these things, whether it be good or bad. But nevertheless, deep water is what I am wont to swim in. It all has become a second nature to me; and I feel, like Paul, to glory in tribulation; for to this day has the God of my fathers delivered me out of them all, and will deliver me from henceforth; for behold, and lo, I shall triumph over all my enemies, for the Lord God hath spoken it."

This chapter is an epistle from Joseph Smith as he was forced to flee from his enemies. In it he instructs the saints on the method of baptism for the dead. Instead what I focused on was his reference of "deep water is what I am wont to swim in. It all has become a second nature to me". It reminded me of Ezekiel 47 and the water that issued out from the house of the Lord at the south side of the alter. First there was water to the ankles, then to the knees, up to the loins and finally waters to swim in. What a difference there is to wade through water and then freely swim. Is that not how we immerse ourselves in the gospel of Jesus Christ. There is a struggle until you totally immerse yourself and reach deep water and swim.

Joseph had trials since he was a boy. He had finally reach the point that he could glory in tribulation because they did not weigh him down or let them hold him back. He had turned himself over freely to the Lord and trusted him. Joseph was now swimming in living waters. What he then goes on to instruct the saints in becomes temple ordinances and blessings for those on both sides of the veil. Blessings that will flow from the temples to heal families and give them life. Temples can help prepare us to swim in deep waters, and glory in tribulation.

Today's Favorite Verse: Doctrine & Covenants 42:43, 61

 Today's Favorite Verse: Doctrine & Covenants 42:43, 61

"And whosoever among you are sick, and have not faith to be healed, but believe, shall be nourished with all tenderness, with herbs and mild food, and that not by the hand of an enemy.
If thou shalt ask, thou shalt receive revelation upon revelation, knowledge upon knowledge, that thou mayest know the mysteries and peaceable things - that which bringeth joy, that which bringeth life eternal."

These verses had so much meaning to me this year. One in being reminded that herbs and mild food are to heal the sick. Second, that we can ask and receive revelation, and knowledge on how to use what has been given to treat those that are sick. I am also grateful for "is there more". The ability to ask after receiving revelation if there is still more for you to know, and there is. This has blessed my life and the life of my family.

Today's Favorite Verse: Moroni 10:32-34

Today's Favorite Verse: Moroni 10:32-34
"Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God.
And again, if ye by the grace of God are perfect in Christ, and deny not his power, then are ye sanctified in Christ by the grace of God, through the shedding of the blood of Christ, which is in the covenant of the Father unto the remission of your sins, that ye become holy, without spot.
And now I bid unto all, farewell. I soon go to the rest in the paradise of God, until my spirit and body shall again reunite, and I am brought forth triumphant through the air, to meet you before the pleasing bar of the great Jehovah, the Eternal Judge of both the quick and dead. Amen.
The End"

I just finished the closing chapter of the Book of Mormon. I always think of Moroni 10 as the invitation to pray and ask God in the name of Jesus Christ if these words are true. This is an invitation that I have already taken and know for myself these are the words of God. I cherish them, love them, and am strengthened by them.

So, I asked myself what message is there for someone that already knows it is true? That is when I realized my favorite verse for today is becoming perfected in Christ. The key is perfection will never happen if I try to do it alone. Trying to do that will lead to discouragement, depression and hopelessness, for I have been there. It is only when I realized perfection comes through Christ, that I realized how much I really needed Him. I am good enough, and He will make me better.

As I watched what will be the final Book of Mormon video, I was struck with how alone Moroni was. On some level what a relief that must have been after all the carnage that he witnessed. But, then you are a prisoner to your thoughts. What a blessing it must have been to keep himself occupied by reading the scriptures he carried, and pondering them in his heart. What he read is what I am reading. What a power these words have to heal the broken heart, simply because you come to know the Christ.

Today's Favorite Verse: 3 Nephi 9:13

Today's Favorite Verse: 3 Nephi 9:13
"O all ye that are spared because ye were more righteous than they, will ye not now return unto me, and repent of your sins, and be converted, that I may heal you?"

It's so hard to pick a favorite verse out of this, one of my favorite chapters in all the Book of Mormon. This is the moment after the destruction that took place, and while the people in the Americas sit in darkness, they hear the voice of Jesus Christ. First he tells that it was him that destroyed all these cities because of their wickedness and "that the blood of the prophets and the saints shall not come any more unto me against them." He tells them that the law of Moses is fulfilled. Then in this verse the tone changes and I just weep. He speaks to those that are remaining and calls them to repentance and to come unto Him. What a reminder that we all have something to repent of, even if we are righteous and had been spared. I love how he says "that I may heal you". There are so many ways that the Savior can heal us. He is the master healer for he knows all our wounds and how to comfort us.

Today's Favorite Verse: Alma 15:10-12

Today's Favorite Verse: Alma 15:10-12
"And then Alma cried unto the Lord, saying: O Lord our God, have mercy on this man, and heal him according to his faith which is in Christ.
And when Alma had said these words, Zeezroom leaped upon his feet, and began to walk; and this was done to the great astonishment of all the people; and the knowledge of this went forth throughout all the land of Sidom.
And Alma baptized Zeezrom unto the Lord; and he began from that time forth to preach unto the people."

In this chapter it tells how Zeezrom fearing that Alma and Amulek were killed was wracked with such guilt for his iniquities that fell ill with a burning fever. He was upon his bed sick with a burning fever when he heard Alma and Amulek were there in Sidom. He calls them to him and stretches out his hand for them to heal him. As Alma cries out for him to be healed I thought about how its always according to our faith and the Lord's will. In the next verse I see that the Lord's will is acknowledged for Zeezrom is miraculous healed as a witness to the people. This in turn opens the door for people to be receptive to Zeezrom preaching to them. I pondered on how this experience must have affected Zeezrom, and how powerful his witness and testimony of repentance and forgiveness would be to others. There is purpose in all that we go through.

Today's Favorite Verse: Acts 19:11-12

Today's Favorite Verse: Acts 19:11-12
"And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them."

The footnote for miracles has priesthood power. In Luke 8 I read how the women with the issue of blood was healed by touching the border of Jesus' garment. In Act 5 I read how sick in the streets were healed when the shadow of Peter passed by them. It reminded me of the story record by Wilford Woodruff in his journal of the prophet Joseph Smith giving him a red silk handkerchief to go in his place to heal 3 month old twins.

"A man came to [Joseph] and asked him if he would go about three miles and heal two of his small children, who were twins, about three months old, and were sick nigh unto death. He was a man of the world, he had never heard a sermon preached by a Latter-day Saint. Joseph said he could not go, but he would send a man. After hesitating a moment, he turned to me and said, “You go with this man and heal his children,” at the same time giving me a red silk handkerchief, and said, “After you lay hands upon them, wipe their faces with it, and they shall be healed; and as long as you will keep that handkerchief, it shall ever remain as a league between you and me.” I went and did as I was commanded, and the children were healed."

Today's Favorite Verse: Acts 3:12

Today's Favorite Verse: Acts 3:12
"And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?"

This is the story of the man lame from birth that Peter by the name of Jesus Christ healed. I pondered on healings. I know that some are given the gift of healing by the spirit. Yet, that power is still not of themselves. It is through the gift and power of Jesus Christ that such miracles are done. One worthy to hold the priesthood should have the same power through Jesus Christ to heal as another. It shouldn't matter which priesthood holder is giving the blessing. Maybe the words used are not as powerful to the listener, but Peter didn't use impressive words. I am not sure where the line is for the gifts of the spirit to heal, be healed and working miracles. Is there a line or is it all the timing of the Lord in the matter? I guess the key to understanding is realizing it's not the man that makes the outcome but faith in the will of the Father in the act being done.

That said how I wish I could have the opportunity to be given a blessing by an apostle of the Lord, Jesus Christ. I would love to be free of this pain and have my leg healed. How I wish I could be out of the wheelchair and freely walk and do things again. I've had blessings and told someday I would be healed. Yet, I sit. Though as I sit I have found amazing spiritual blessings come to me. I have found the absolute beauty and holiness in patience. The healing appears to be in my heart instead of my knee. How could I loose the one for the worldliness of the other?  I may not understand how miracles and healings happen, but I know the timing is the Lord's. He's plan is always a better plan than mine.

Today's Favorite Verse: John 9:2-3

Today's Favorite Verse: John 9:2-3
"And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him."

This chapter is the story of the blind man from birth made to see. I love how the Lord explains that this condition was not caused by sin, "but that the works of God could be manifested in him". What Jesus then did was anoint the blind man's eyes with clay and tell him to go wash in the pool of Siloam. Once done the man could now see. But was it the miracle that Jesus refers to as the works of God made manifest. Possibly, but I think it is the telling at the end of the story where the man having testified that Jesus was a prophet, is now cast out of the synagogue, the religious and social center for the Jewish community. Now he meets Christ. Remember the blind man never saw the man Jesus that had healed him, for he was washing in the pool of Siloam when his vision came back. Now when Christ identifies himself the man believes and worships him. I think part of the way the works of God are made manifest is when through our trials, we can reach out in faith and come to know Him. If there was always clear weather, peace and no trials we would struggle to find faith in God. There is purpose in the storms, they are blessings in disguise.

Today's Favorite Verse: Matthew 15:8

Today's Favorite Verse: Matthew 15:8
"This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me."

Sometimes you wake up and realized your heart is far from God. The beautiful thing about that is, when you realize it, you're ready to come back.

Last night and into the morning, I had a long talk with myself and with God to find out what the problem is. Why do I feel so distant? Yesterday, was the first day in forever that my pain started to subside. Inspiration had came Wednesday night on what I needed to do and I obeyed. I see the miracle and have found relief. Now my eyes have been opened up about what I have done through my pain. Deep, deep down I sought comfort in food and not completely in the Lord. Oh, I did mercifully continue to pray, study and worship Him. I turned to Him in my darkest hours and he comforted me. Then when I divorced the spiritual from the physical I ate to comfort myself. I see now I can't do that. I cannot serve two masters.

What the natural man desires causes more pain, not healing.

"The natural man is an enemy to God." (Mosiah 3:19) That is what I turned to.

The Guide to the Scriptures describes the Natural Man as:
"A person who chooses to be influenced by the passions, desires, appetites, and senses of the flesh rather than by the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Such a person can comprehend physical things but not spiritual things. All people are carnal, or mortal, because of the Fall of Adam and Eve. Each person must be born again through the Atonement of Jesus Christ to cease being a natural man."

What I learned is it doesn't matter where I am on the path to eternal life. The natural man can turn my heart from God if I let it control me. The longer and further I let that happen the darker things become. Soon I would no longer seek or desire God. I am so grateful my eyes have been opened, right now where I stand. I am grateful God judges me on my heart and lets me change it.

Today's Favorite Verse: Matthew 4:23

Today's Favorite Verse: Matthew 4:23
"And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people."

Feeling rather sorry for myself today. I'm tired after seven months of pain and acceptance. The answer seems to be not to be healed but have more pain instead. I have had to rely greatly on the Lord for comfort. As I read these verses of the sick being healed how I wished I was there. But as I reflected on them I thought of those that may have been healed physically, but never recognizes the Lord for who he was, or thanked him.

I pondered on a question that came into my mind. Which would I rather have, to have been there to be healed or to have heard Jesus preach? My answer? I I would have much rathered heard Him preach. I would be willing to sit outside of His touch, but within His sight and voice to hear Him speak. What fills the soul is more than can hurt the body. Then I heard, there's your answer. How grateful I am for the moments of rest I find in the Lord. He does comfort me and know me. Periods of sorrow makes me appreciate the Lord's atonement all the more.



Wish I had the ability to combine both these videos.

Today's Favorite Verse: Habakkuk 3:4

Today's Favorite Verse: Habakkuk 3:4
"And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand; and there was the hiding of his power."

The footnote for "he" is "OR rays of light are at His side".  I did wonder what horns coming out of his hands meant. I figured it had to be a symbol of the temple ordinances used in the law of Moses. I found a great explanation by Erastus Snow.

"For through the laying on of hands the sick are healed. Through the laying on of hands the Holy Ghost is given. Through the laying on of hands the Priesthood is conferred upon those who are counted worthy to receive it. Herein is the hiding of the Lord's power. It is this that the Prophet Habakkuk refers to when he speaks of the Lord coming in glory, and says: “He had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.”

Horns we know in the Scriptures are often used as figures to represent power. Horns in the Apocalypse and in the prophecies of Daniel represent kingdoms and dynasties, and when one horn fell, another came up in its place, thus representing the fall of one dynasty and the rising of another. And so on. And the same may be said of the Priesthood: the ruling power that God bestows for the salvation of the human family, is that which is given by the laying on of hands.

But does this apply to the wicked, to the disobedient, or to the unbelieving? No, not at all; nor does remission of sins come to the wicked and unbelieving by merely being baptized. We have an example of this kind in the New Testament when Philip baptized the people of Samaria, and Simon the sorcerer, was baptized also; but he was a hypocrite and a corrupt man, and he only sought to gain power whereby he might hoodwink and deceive the people and filch money from them. And when Peter and John came down and prayed with the people, and laid their hands upon them, they received the Holy Ghost. When Simon saw this, he offered them money saying, “Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.” This he sought, as I have said, that he might obtain power to carry on his craft and to make money; but Peter answered him saying, “Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.  I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.”

There are other similar instances. But remission of sins cometh by baptism to those who believe and repent of their sins with all their hearts; the Holy Ghost is received by the laying on of the hands of the Elders; and the powers of the Priesthood are conferred in the same manner. Simple as the ordinances are, simple to look upon and to think upon, there is power in them, power accompanies them, power is made manifest among the people. The people are gathered together; the people are made one; the differences that existed among us depart. The traditions of the fathers are cast away. We are united in receiving the light and truth from above. Our hearts are made as one, no matter where we were born, or what race of people we have sprung from. This spirit working among the people, and going abroad in the earth is accomplishing what the Lord and His servants have predicted. It is preparing a people for the coming of the Savior."

(JD 25:194, "How Judgment Should Be Formed, Etc." Discourse by Apostle Erastus Snow, delivered in the Stake Meetinghouse, Ephraim, Saturday Afternoon (Quarterly Conference), May 31, 1884)

It is the priesthood. When I think of the power in those hands, laid upon my head for the gift of the Holy Ghost and for healing, I stand amazed and what it has done for me. Now this verse makes sense.

Today's Favorite Verse: Ezekiel 24:4-5

Today's Favorite Verse: Ezekiel 24:4-5
"Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein."

This is one of those scriptures where it fits what it happening in my life exactly. It cannot be a coincidence. Thursday the impression came to me on how I needed to heal my knee. I needed to make bone broth. Now I had an interest in bone broth before I hurt my knee and though of it off an on. When I arrived at church the first time in a wheelchair a sister stopped to inquire on what had happened. She mentioned I needed to take bone brother. I knew that wasn't a coincidence that I had that on my mind also. But, at the time had no idea that was something that would help my knee.

Then Thursday the impression came so strongly with a promise, that if I would take bone broth every day, and something else, that my knee would be well enough that I could use my walker by RootsTech. In fact I felt it so strongly it was as if in my mind I was already healed. I couldn't get the bones until Friday so I bought some bone broth from a local restaurant until then. I roasted the bones and then boiled them for 36 hrs. Which meant this morning I had to strain it and put it out on the porch to cool before leaving for church.

I felt so bad that I had broken the sabbath day by working on my bone broth. I prayed that I would be forgiven and promised to keep the remainder of His day holy. I felt that was acceptable. I even had the impression that what I was doing was as I had been told.  I just got done with all my meetings, a self-reliance class and family scriptures. Finally I could sit at my desk with my cup of bone broth and read my scriptures. This is amazingly what I read. Surely at times the Lord has a sense of humor. For it cannot be a coincidence the scriptures talk of bones as I'm dealing with bones. It is as verse 24 in this chapter says.

"Thus Ezekiel (Renee) is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I am the Lord God,"
