SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Doctrine & Covenants 11:
"And now, verily, verily, I say unto thee, put your trust in that Spirit which leadeth to do good---yea, to do justly, to walk humbly, to judge righteously; and this is my Spirit. Verily, verily, I say unto you, I will impart unto you of my Spirit, which shall enlighten your mind, which shall fill your soul with joy."

QUOTE OF THE DAY Heber J. Grant
"The Lord gives to many of us the still, small voice of revelation. It comes as vividly and strongly as though it were with a great sound. It comes to each man, according to his needs and faithfulness, for guidance in matters that pertain to his own life" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Heber J. Grant, p. 182). |
