| | Latter Day Light DAILY DEVOTIONAL August 22, 2017 Pioneer Advice on Love |
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Alma 13:28-29
"But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear, and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering; Having faith on the Lord; having a hope that ye shall receive eternal life; having the love of God always in your hearts, that ye may be lifted up at the last day and enter into his rest."
|
QUOTE OF THE DAY Ezra Taft Benson
"Were these indomitable pioneers to express in words their fundamental beliefs, so manifest in their acts, surely they would counsel us to believe . . .
"Yes, they would urge us to believe: That love is the greatest force in the world; that in love there is no fear; that love alone can overcome hate; that right can and will triumph over might; that there is an all-wise and all-loving God, and that individual's highest fulfilment, greatest happiness, and widest usefulness are to be found in living in harmony with his divine will" (So Shall Ye Reap, p. 313-315). |

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY August 22
1837 - The Prophet Joseph spends most of the month of August in eastern Canada. He taught the gospel, baptized, and strengthened the branches of the Church. (History of the Church, 2:502-508)
1838 - The men of the Kirtland Camp completed the job of grading they had been hired to do. This brought in much needed income to complete their journey to Missouri.
1843 - The Mayor, Joseph Smith, held mayor's court and fined Stephen Wilkinson for "selling spirits without a license." He also records, "We constantly hear rumors that the people of Carthage are determined to raise a mob to drive the Mormons out of the state" (History of the Church, 5:541).
1847 - A special conference was held in the Salt Lake Valley. The choir that would later become the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sings for the first time at the conference. The Saints choose the name "Great Salt Lake City" as the name of the city they are building, and they name the river running through the valley the Jordan River.
