Delight in the things of the Lord!

Yesterday, I felt compeled to attended the temple. I was troubled by something and I knew that I could find peace in the temple. As I entered the Holy Temple the Spirit washed over me and comforted me. Durning my visit simple truths about the covenants I made were revealed to me. These revelations astonished me. I had heard the words hundreds of times yet never knew that I didn't really understand the meaning of certain phrases. I left the temple feeling uplifted, enlightened and blessed.

My soul delighteth in the things of the Lord! I am grateful for the many opportunities I am given to become close to my Lord and Savior. I feel blessed at the continual reminders of His presence in my life.

"Behold, my soul delighteth in the things of the Lord; and my heart pondereth continually upon the things which I have seen and heard." 2 Nephi 4:16

Isaiah teaches, that as I delight in the things of the Lord I will have reason to ponder the miracles of His presence in my life. I testify that as we ponder the seemingly normal lives we live, we will see evidences of the Savior's love for us. The key is not to let it all pass by in a frenzy before we take notice. Which leads me back to the heart. Pondering continually in our hearts the things which we have seen and heard. This does not refer to extraordainary things, I think it refers to the daily personal miracles found in each of our lives. I am blessed.
