Choose This Day

This is a very inspirational video, by Henry B. Eyring based on the scripture in Joshua 24:15, "choose you this day whom ye will serve." One part that I felt really touched me was when he mentions beginning the day with a prayer, that we will be able to serve the lord the best we can, no matter how little it is, and then acting on that prayer.

I just read the Ensign's First Presidency's message for January and a scripture that really stuck out to me was D&C 88:63 “Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you; seek me diligently and ye shall find me.” each day we must serve the Lord, or we will be missing out on many blessings. Another scripture that comes to mind is "seek ye first the kingdom of god and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." (Matthew 6:33) Let us make every day a day of service and of coming closer to our Savior. If we do, we will be richly blessed. When we seek to serve others we lose sight of ourselves, and begin to see as the Lord saw. When we shift focus off ourselves we will be much happier.

Life is very busy, we have tons to get done every day, but we must remember our Lord and Savior. We must read our scriptures daily, no matter how busy the day may get. Set aside part of the day if you must. When we choose the Lords work first, he will help us accomplish our work. Choose this day to serve the Lord and do His will.
