"How Important to Hear All"

 

Over the past couple of days I’ve answered within an abbreviated scope that which is most important in this mortality – thus that those who read and know they are my friends might know what I would recommend. Yet even as our family continues to read the Scriptures so much more do we learn, feel and hear of the great truths which have been taught that all might know. Nothing fancy or requiring more than a desire to know and to live obedient to the commandments. Thus my friends – know each makes their own decisions within this life – but here in our readings this night a reflection of much of what I’ve repeated on more than one occasion – in the Book of Zechariah (Old Testament) we find the same as all the Prophets have taught and therefore I share – c/ork

Zechariah 7:9 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother:

 10 And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.

 11 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.

 12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the Lord of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the Lord of hosts.

 13 Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the Lord of hosts:

 14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.

 

Zechariah 8:9 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the  prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.

 

Come and hear, see and decide – for a Prophet of the Lord will speak on Saturday and Sunday – as will living Apostles.  http://www.lds.org/general-conference/watch?lang=eng

“How Important to Hear All”

 

cji

4/6/13

 

Do we read the Scriptures all

hearing the still small voice all

feeling promptings within awe

knowing it is Father’s true call

warning and inviting people all

come to hear a Prophet’s call

instead declining each this call

how many endured in the fall

refusing to hear this last call?
