Day 7

Read: 1 Nephi 15-16

Mark: 1 Nephi 15:23-24

 

“If there is any one thing most needed in this time of tumult and frustration, when men and women and youth and young adults are desperately seeking for answers to the problems which afflict mankind, it is an ‘iron rod’ as a safe guide along the straight path on the way to eternal life.”
~ President Harold B. Lee

 How can you ‘hold fast’ to the iron rod?

*There are the standard answers, prayer, scripture study, going to church...I believe there is a reason those are the "standard answers" THEY WORK. In the scriptures the Lord counsels us to "Cry unto the Father", "Study the words of the prophets", and "To meet together oft". There is nothing that says that if you do these three things your life will be perfect, in fact we are not ever promised we will feel no pain, or have trials. We are told the exact opposite, but in doing these three basic things the trials we go through will be easier to face, deal with and endure. There are many other things, pay tithing, attend the Temple, have good friends, listen to good music....the list goes on, but it usually starts with Prayer, Scripture Study, and attending Church.
