Scriptures

Today (but not just today) I am so thankful for scriptures. It seems that no matter how hard of a time you're having, the moment you start doing the little things, (reading scriptures, saying prayers) everything is ok. It gives you so much comfort, and direction. I have no doubt that the scriptures are true. The testimony that I have of them continues to be strengthened each and every time I read them.

And just to further strengthen my testimony of the scriptures here's a quote from Elder Jeffrey R. Holland that hits me every time I read it.

"In this their greatest—and last—hour of need, I ask you: would these men blaspheme before God by continuing to fix their lives, their honor, and their own search for eternal salvation on a book (and by implication a church and a ministry) they had fictitiously created out of whole cloth?... No wicked man could write such a book as this; and no good man would write it, unless it were true and he were commanded of God to do so... I hope I have a few years left in my “last days,” but whether I do or do not, I want it absolutely clear when I stand before the judgment bar of God that I declared to the world, in the most straightforward language I could summon, that the Book of Mormon is true, that it came forth the way Joseph said it came forth and was given to bring happiness and hope to the faithful in the travail of the latter days."

It's technically a string of quotes, but I suggest you read the whole talk. It is absolutely amazing.

Here's to the scriptures, I truly am so thankful.
