Day 27 - Mosiah 25-27

Do you Notice something New on these BOM Posts?
Please take time to click on the "For Kids" link.  It is something new that I found that correlates exactly with the reading block assigned for the day.  It is different than the Reading Levels 1-4 on the side posts.  These videos are usually only 2-3 minutes.  It is well worth the time to click on them for your kids and for a quick review for you!  Every now and then I will find something that I think is excellent for "Teens and Adults" so watch for that too.

Spiritual Thought:

“I bless you with increased understanding of the Book of Mormon.  I promise you that from this moment forward, if we will daily sup from its pages and abide by its precepts, God will pour out upon each child of Zion and the church a blessing hitherto unknown - and we will plead to the Lord that He will begin to lift the condemnation-the scourge and judgment.  Of this I bear solemn witness.”  (Ezra Taft Benson)

Daily Focus Scriptures to mark and ponder:
Mosiah 25:10 - "And again, when they thought of the immediate goodness of God, and his power in delivering Alma and his brethren...out of bondage, they did raise their voices and give thanks to God."
Mosiah 27: 14 - "And again, the angel said, "Behold, the Lord hath heard the prayers of his people, and also the prayers of his servant, Alma,who is thy father, for he has prayed with much faith concerning thee..."
Mosiah 17:24 - "...I have repented of my sins, and have been redeemed of the Lord, behold I amn born of the Spirit."

Daily Questions: 

After a trial is over in my life, do I remember to thank the Lord for his help?  What if I started thanking the Lord for his goodness DURING my trial?  Could it make a difference in the way I handle it? Do I realize the powerful impact that fasting and praying for my children can have in their lives?

Food for Thought:  The Five R's of Repentance
1.  RECOGNIZE - acknowledge there is a problem

2.  REMORSE - feel sorry for sins and confess sins

4.  REFRAIN - stop doing them

5.  RESTORE - make things right through restitution

6.  RECOGNIZE THE SAVIOR and recommit to keep the commandments
