SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Psalm 89:5-7
"And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord? God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him."
|
QUOTE OF THE DAY David O. McKay
"Let us make God the center of our lives. . . . To have communion with God, through his Holy Spirit, is one of the noblest aspirations of life. It is when the peace and love of God have entered the soul, when serving him becomes the motivating factor in one's life and existence" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: David O. McKay, p. 32). |
