I had the opportunity to watch General Conference which was such a privilege. I am so amazed by how much God wants us to know and there are so many things that we can learn, improve, and do! Sitting in our church office and watching almost 12 hours of conference was fun and Elder Skousen had a bunch of american candy that we snacked on!
I wanted a thought I had after listening the talk careful versus casual by sister Becky Craven. It really touched me and reminded me about how much the Lord asks us to do, but also how much the the deveil wants us not to do those things. As I was reading the talk again this morning, I was reminded of the scripture 2 Nehpi 2:28:
"O that cunning plan of the evil one! O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. And they shall perish."
We need to be careful and aware of the things the lord has asked us to do! We as humans have some major human frailties, which means moral weakness, so we have to be so so SO careful as we live our life! I imagine how frustrating it must be for Satan because all of his minions are casual about bringing souls down to hell. He can never truly succeed in anything because casual people don't get anything meaningful done. It is literally in the nature of the evil spirits! So lets not have that evil minion spirit and be careful in the way we live! I am so grateful for the prophets, apostles, and the other men and women leaders we have to look to as people who are carefully living their lives!
Have a great week!
