| Latter Day Light DAILY DEVOTIONAL July 10, 2017 Curse of Wickedness |
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Alma 45:16
"And he said: Thus saith the Lord God---Cursed shall be the land, yea, this land, unto every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, unto destruction, which do wickedly, when they are fully ripe; and as I have said so shall it be; for this is the cursing and the blessing of God upon the land, for the Lord cannot look upon sin with the least degree of allowance."

QUOTE OF THE DAY Brigham Young
"God has decreed and foreordained many things that have come to pass, and he will continue to do so; but when he decrees great blessings upon a nation or upon an individual they are decreed upon certain conditions. When he decrees great plagues and overwhelming destructions upon nations or people, those decrees come to pass because those nations and people will not forsake their wickedness and turn unto the Lord" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Brigham Young, p. 52). |
