| Latter Day Light DAILY DEVOTIONAL November 16, 2017 Gratitude For Our Daily Bread |
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Mosiah 7:19
"Therefore, lift up your heads, and rejoice, and put your trust in God, in that God who was the God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob; and also, that God who brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, and caused that they should walk through the Red Sea on dry ground, and fed them with manna that they might not perish in the wilderness; and many more things did he do for them."

QUOTE OF THE DAY John Taylor
"Our safety and happiness and our wealth depend upon our obedience to God and His laws, and our exaltation in time and eternity depends upon the same thing. If we have means placed in our hands we will ask our Father to enable us to do what is right with it, and, as I have said, we will ask Him for our daily bread, and thank Him for it; just the same as the children of Israel did" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: John Taylor, p. 36). |
