Latter Day Light DAILY DEVOTIONAL March 3, 2016 Our Lives and Actions |
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Doctrine & Covenants 97:21 "Therefore, verily, thus saith the Lord, let Zion rejoice, for this is Zion---the pure in heart; therefore, let Zion rejoice, while all the wicked shall mourn." |
QUOTE OF THE DAY John Taylor "We talk sometimes about Zion, that has got to be built up in Jackson County; also about a New Jerusalem that has to be built . . . How do our lives and actions compare with these things? Are our hearts, feelings and affections drawn out after them, or are we forgetful and our minds swallowed up with the affairs of time and sense?" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: John Taylor, p. 63). |
