Perhaps you’re
aware of things in your life that are threatening to slow or stop
your spiritual progress. If so, follow this scriptural counsel: “Let
us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset
us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.” -

Four Minutes,” Ensign (CR) May 2014

Our loving Heavenly Father and His Son, Jehovah, with a knowledge of
the end from the beginning, opened the heavens and a new dispensation
to offset the calamities that They knew would come. The Apostle Paul
described the forthcoming calamities as “perilous times.” For me, this
suggests that Heavenly Father’s generous compensation for living in
perilous times is that we also live in the fulness of times. - Gary

If you
are like me, you may often find yourself in daily life asking,
“Where are the keys” to the car, the office, the house or apartment?
When this happens to me, I can’t help but smile inside, for as I am
looking for the keys, I find myself reflecting on restored
priesthood keys and on President Thomas S. Monson, whom we sustain
“as prophet, seer, and revelator” and as the only person on earth
who possesses and is authorized to exercise all priesthood keys.
Yes, the keys are safely in the possession of prophets, seers, and
revelators. They are conferred, delegated, and assigned to others in
accordance with the Lord’s will, under the direction of the
President of the Church. - Gary

In order to help the Book of Mormon become the keystone of
your testimony, I offer you a challenge. I recently learned that many
young people spend an average of seven hours a day looking at TV,
computer, and smartphone screens. With this in mind, would you make a
small change? Will you replace some of that daily screen
time—particularly that devoted to social media, the internet, gaming,
or television—with reading the Book of Mormon? If the studies I
referred to are accurate, you could easily find time for daily study
of the Book of Mormon even if for only 10 minutes a day. And you can
study in a way that allows you to enjoy it and understand it—either on
your device or in book form. – Gary

the Book, Look to the Lord,” Ensign (CR) November 2016
