Joseph didn’t get a shortcut to his destiny—he got trials. Sold into slavery, falsely accused, and forgotten in prison, he could have given up. But instead, he worked, waited, and trusted that God was shaping him for something bigger—just like He’s shaping you.
When Elder Bednar stood to speak in General Conference for the first time, the hymn sung just before was his personal favorite—one chosen weeks before he knew he would be there. Hank Smith explores the power of these moments and why learning to recognize the Lord's hand in our lives can bring peace in the middle of life's uncertainty.
Did you know the Word of Wisdom isn’t just about avoiding certain things—it’s about receiving incredible blessings? Carmen Herbert shares a powerful scripture: “All saints who remember to keep and do these sayings… shall receive health, wisdom, and even hidden treasures.” (D&C 89) That’s a promise straight from God! When we treat our bodies with reverence, nourish them with good food, get rest, and care for our spirits, we unlock blessings beyond what we can see. What’s one simple change you can make today to align with this divine law?
What does it mean to be true to the faith? Living true to God's commandments takes commitment, courage, and trust in His promises for you. The Lord blesses those who follow Him, and when we choose to keep His commandments, our lives become filled with peace, joy, and purpose. So today, ask yourself: Am I standing for truth? Am I living my faith? If you do, the blessings will follow.
John Bytheway shares a life-changing realization from his mission in the Philippines—many of the things we complain about aren’t real problems, they’re privileges we’ve taken for granted. We say things like, “Ugh, my WiFi is slow” or “I have nothing to wear,” while others would be grateful just to have access to the things we dismiss. The next time you feel like complaining, ask yourself: Am I really struggling… or am I just forgetting to be grateful?
What really drives Christ’s love for us? In 3 Nephi 17:6, we get a glimpse into His heart—compassion. When He saw the Nephites longing for Him to stay, He didn’t rush away. He stayed. He healed. He wept with them. His example teaches us that true ministering starts with feeling with people, not just doing things for them. Today, let’s slow down and ask: How can you minister to someone today, with compassion like the Savior?
Ever feel like you have no control over your circumstances? That life is just happening to you? David Morgan shares an inspiring reminder from D&C 58:28—God has given you power to act, to choose, and to change your situation for the better. No matter what challenges you're facing, there is always something you can do. When you take action, even in small ways, you invite God’s power into your life. And He will bless you in ways you never expected. So what’s one thing you can do today to move forward?
Have you ever heard someone say, “Show me where Jesus said that in the scriptures”? Carmen Herbert reminds us of a crucial truth—Jesus Christ still speaks today through living prophets. Just because something isn’t explicitly written in the Bible doesn’t mean it isn’t inspired. President Nelson’s counsel on modesty, media, and moral choices isn’t just about rules—it’s about receiving divine blessings.
