Latter Day Light DAILY DEVOTIONAL August 12, 2017 Lord Knows Our Works

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY 2 Nephi 27:27
"And wo unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord! And their works are in the dark; and they say: Who seeth us, and who knoweth us? And they also say: Surely, your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay. But behold, I will show unto them, saith the Lord of Hosts, that I know all their works. For shall the work say of him that made it, he made me not? Or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, he had no understanding?"

QUOTE OF THE DAY John Taylor
"We forget that God and angels are looking upon us; we forget that the spirits of just men made perfect and our ancient fathers, who are looking forward for the establishment of the kingdom of God upon the earth, are gazing upon us, and that our acts are open to the inspection of all the authorized agencies of the invisible world" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: John Taylor, p. 64). |

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY August 12
1831 - At McIlwaine's Bend of the Missouri River, the Prophet Joseph Smith receives the revelation known as Doctrine and Covenants 61 explaining what W. W. Phelps had seen in vision the day before. They continued their journey to Kirtland, Ohio-by land. (History of the Church, 1:203-205).
1841 - About one hundred Sac and Fox Indians visit Nauvoo. The group included Chiefs Keokuk, Kiskuhosh, and Appenoose. The Prophet Joseph taught them the gospel about their fathers in the Book of Mormon during their peaceful visit to Nauvoo. (History of the Church, 4:401-402)
1842 - Still in hiding across the Mississippi River from Nauvoo near Zarahemla, Iowa, it became more apparent to the Prophet Joseph that the entire proceedings of his arrest and trial by Thomas Carlin, governor of Illinois, and others were entirely illegal. To convince the sheriffs and others that the Prophet was not in Nauvoo, William Walker crossed the river to Iowa with the Prophet's horse, "Joe Duncan." (History of the Church, 5:91)
1850 - The first converts to the Church in Denmark are baptized by Elder Erastus Snow in Copenhagen.
