In his remarks on April 2, 2017, President Monson invited us to read and ponder the Book of Mormon daily. In doing so, he also made a promise: "I implore each of us to prayerfully study and ponder the Book of Mormon each day. As we do so, we will be in a position to hear the voice of the Spirit, to resist temptation, to overcome doubt and fear, and to receive heaven’s help in our lives."
This picture shows a verse that I read today that deserves some thoughtful pondering. It also reinforces what President Monson said.
"And now, my beloved brethren, I would that ye should come unto Christ, who is the Holy One of Israel, and partake of his salvation, and the power of his redemption. Yea, come unto him, and offer your whole souls as an offering unto him, and continue in fasting and praying, and endure to the end; and as the Lord liveth ye will be saved" (Omni 1:26).
I know that what President Monson said is true. I read the Book of Mormon each day. However, I sometimes don't ponder it as well as I should. I am determined to do better. May we all "come unto Christ" daily through reading in and pondering that which we read in the Book of Mormon. As we do so, applying the impressions that come, we will draw ever nearer the Savior and obtain from Him the help that we need in our daily lives. That such may be our blessing is my sincere prayer for all of us.
