A few years ago I published a CD called The Dog Ate My Scriptures. Recently, a friend emailed and let me know that her dog really ate her scriptures.
Yikes! We’ve got to be careful with the scriptures.
Lately I’ve been pondering on the blessings that come from diligently studying the scriptures. There are so many! The following are just a few scriptures about how studying the scriptures blesses us.
- JS-M 1:37 “Whoso treasureth up my word, shall not be deceived.”
- 2 Ne. 3:15 “[the scriptures] shall bring my people unto salvation.”
- Alma 37:44 “The word of Christ…will point to you a straight course to eternal bliss”
- Alma 17:2-3 “[They] had searched the scriptures diligently…and when they taught, they taught with power and authority of God.”
- 1 Nephi 15:24 “Whoso would hearken unto the word of God, and would hold fast unto it, they would never perish; neither could the temptations and the fiery darts of the adversary overpower them unto blindness, to lead them away to destruction.
- 2 Nephi 32:3 “The words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do.
So don’t let the dog eat our scriptures…let’s you and me feast on them instead!
