Today, for lack of time I would just like to write a quick thought that I had in my study today.
As
I was reading in 2 Nephi, I read the verse that states, "To be
spiritually minded is life eternal and to be carnally minded is death."
Under a cross reference, was Romans 8:6, which states the same principle
but makes a noteworthy addition, in that to be spiritually minded is
"life and peace." As I was pondering this and how we can be
spiritually minded so that we can have both eternal life in the
eternities and peace in this, I thought about the sacramental prayer
which states the requisite to have His Spirit with us always, that we do always remember Him.
As we remember Christ and His suffering, His example and His hand in everything, we will be focused and have the right priorities, bringing to us blessings of the Holy Spirit in this life and Life Eternal in the next.
God asks us to focus on Christ because it is the only way to have these blessings. By any other means, we will be carnally minded and sequentially, die, both physically and spiritually.
May we always focus on the Savior of the world, so that we can have a truly lasting peace for all eternity!!
Love,
Elder Allen
