We Must Daily Strengthen Our Faith

We live in a world that calls "evil good, and good evil; that put[s] darkness for light, and light for darkness" (Isaiah 5:20).

Our surest defense against such an onslaught is to do things every day—simple things—that strengthen our faith and arm us with truth. We will thus be shielded against "the cunning and the snares and the wiles of the devil" (Helaman 3:29-30).

It occurs to me that a choice not to do something every day that strengthens our faith is a choice to weaken it.

I plead with each of us to take a few minutes each day to pray morning and night personally and in our families, to read from the scriptures and apply what we read, and to do our best to live lives of obedience. To do otherwise is to leave ourselves vulnerable to the winds of opposition.
