Scripture of the Day

"Remember, remember, that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall." Helaman 5:12

This is such a profound and empowering scripture that is found within the Book of Mormon. I think it edifies and draws further light and knowledge to us all. There is a recipe and a help that can be understood to help us. If we want to withstand the temptations that come to us and have strength during those trials this verse will help us to know how we can. In order to stand firm we must be established on a solid foundation, one that would not crumble beneath us. That solid and firm foundation that we must stand on is Jesus Christ. When he is at the center of our lives and hearts everything is more manageable. People may have the false conception that we will never go through hard times or struggle but these trials are apart of life. No matter how good we are we will still have difficult circumstances but the thing that we must focus on is that we can find support, comfort, and happiness through those trials. This is done by turning our hearts and lives to Christ, he is the author of our salvation, everything that is good comes from him. So if we desire happiness we must seek first Christ to find that happiness. Christ is the Rock on which we must build so we can withstand all of Satan's tactics to bring us down.
