Daily Ponderings: Be No Iniquity Among Them

Moroni 6:7
And they were strict to observe that there should be no iniquity among them; and whoso was found to commit iniquity, and three witnesses of the church did condemn them before the elders, and if they repented not, and confessed not, their names were blotted out, and they were not numbered among the people of Christ.

I should be kind to those in pain.

This I Know: Grateful

I can be grateful every day for the good things in my life.

Daily Ponderings: Cleansed by the Power of the Holy Ghost

Moroni 6:4
And after they had been received unto baptism, and were wrought upon and cleansed by the power of the Holy Ghost, they were numbered among the people of the church of Christ; and their names were taken, that they might be remembered and nourished by the good word of God, to keep them in the right way, to keep them continually watchful unto prayer, relying alone upon the merits of Christ, who was the author and the finisher of their faith.

I should remember that I always have access to the power to change if I ask for it.

This I Know: Forward

Even when I feel uncomfortable, I can move forward.

Daily Ponderings: Do Always Remember Him

Moroni 5:2
O God, the Eternal Father, we ask thee, in the name of thy Son, Jesus Christ, to bless and sanctify this wine to the souls of all those who drink of it, that they may do it in remembrance of the blood of thy Son, which was shed for them; that they may witness unto thee, O God, the Eternal Father, that they do always remember him, that they may have his Spirit to be with them. Amen.

Every twinge of anger is a sign I need to turn to Him.

This I Know: Peace

I don't have to do anything to earn peace. There are no prerequisites. I just have to let it in.

Daily Ponderings: Took the Cup

Moroni 5:1
The manner of administering the wine—Behold, they took the cup, and said:

I should accept whatever thing He offers me and reframe it, if necessary, until I can count it as good.

This I Know: Supporting

I should support my family. Everything else is optional.

Daily Ponderings: Always Remember Him

Moroni 4:3
O God, the Eternal Father, we ask thee in the name of thy Son, Jesus Christ, to bless and sanctify this bread to the souls of all those who partake of it; that they may eat in remembrance of the body of thy Son, and witness unto thee, O God, the Eternal Father, that they are willing to take upon them the name of thy Son, and always remember him, and keep his commandments which he hath given them, that they may always have his Spirit to be with them. Amen.

Any time I'm not deliberately ignoring Him counts as remembering Him. He wants to give me credit for what I do. The adversary wants me to focus on shortcomings. God wants me to have peace and happiness, and joy. The adversary just wants me to feel misery, because misery is the beginning of separation. It means I have to turn somewhere to fill my lack, and it will be either to Him or to the world.

This I Know: Connecting

It's always good to connect with family.

This I Know: Orderly

There's enough time to keep my life orderly.

Daily Ponderings: Callings of God

Moroni 3:4
And after this manner did they ordain priests and teachers, according to the gifts and callings of God unto men; and they ordained them by the power of the Holy Ghost, which was in them.

He will help me know how to do my calling if I ask.

Daily Ponderings: Wherefore We Know

Moroni 4:1
The manner of their elders and priests administering the flesh and blood of Christ unto the church; and they administered it according to the commandments of Christ; wherefore we know the manner to be true; and the elder or priest did minister it

I should remeber the things that have happened to me and use them to empower me.

Time

If I try, there is time.

Daily Ponderings: In the Name of Jesus Christ

Moroni 3:3
In the name of Jesus Christ I ordain you to be a priest (or if he be a teacher, I ordain you to be a teacher) to preach repentance and remission of sins through Jesus Christ, by the endurance of faith on his name to the end. Amen.

I can do all that I do in His name.

This I Know: Forward

I can always make progress, no matter how small. Always.

Daily Ponderings: After They Had Prayed

Moroni 3:2
After they had prayed unto the Father in the name of Christ, they laid their hands upon them, and said:

I should ask for what I want.

This I Know: Affection

I can be affectionate to my wife. Every moment is an opportunity.

Daily Ponderings: On As Many As They Laid Their Hands

Moroni 2:3
Now Christ spake these words unto them at the time of his first appearing; and the multitude heard it not, but the disciples heard it; and on as many as they laid their hands, fell the Holy Ghost.

I should try to be a blessing to those I come in contact with. He can help me know how if I ask.
