Today I would like to talk about
"drinking from the well"
As Jesus Christ talked to the woman in Samaria, he told her of the living water, His gospel. We learn about the gospel through the scriptures.
We could come up with a million excuses to not immerse ourselves in the scriptures.
"I'm too busy" "I have too much other reading to do" "I don't understand the scriptures" "I'm too lazy"
The only antidote for this is to just do it.
Seriously.
When we spend enough time deeply and consistently reading, we become prepared. Prepared for the trials that lay ahead of us, prepared to share the gospel with those around us, and prepared to withstand the temptation that may confront us.
Reading the scriptures doesn't fix all our problems, but it leads us to the Savior who can help us through them.
I know that there is power in the scriptures. I know that the keys to the kingdom are found within its pages. I know that our Savior loves us and is willing to help us if only we will turn to Him.
love,
Mary
