Scripture study week 3

I am going to do this a little different.  Here is this weeks Scripture study.  I will post it once a week.  You can still find the whole plan here—

Day 15: ___________________  Date: ___________________            
Read: Mosiah 23-29  Mark & Ponder: Mosiah 4:27
Scripture of the Day:
“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the
saints, and of the household of God; and are built upon the foundation of the apostles
and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone; “ In whom ye also are
builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.” (Ephesians 3:19-10, 22)
Thought for the day:
“Search the scriptures, search the revelations which ye publish and ask your Heavenly
Father, in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, to manifest the truth unto you, and if you
do it with an eye single to his glory, nothing doubting, he will answer you by the power
of his Holy Spirit.  You will then know for yourself and not for another.  You will not then
be dependent on man  for the knowledge of God; nor will there be any  room for
speculation... For when men receive their instruction from Him that made them, they
know how He will save them... Again we say: Search the scriptures, search the Prophets
and learn what portion of them belongs to you.” (Prophet Joseph Smith)

Day 16: ___________________  Date: ___________________            
Read: Alma 1-5 Mark & Ponder: Mosiah 4:30
Scripture of the Day:
“I am the way the truth and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
(John 13:6)
Thought for the day:
“If we desire to learn the ideal life to lead among our fellow men, we can find a perfect
example in the life of Jesus.  Whatsoever our noble desire, our lofty aspirations, our
ideals in any phase of life, we can look to Christ and find perfection.  So, in seeking a
standard for moral manhood, we need only to go to the Man of Nazareth and in him find
embodied all virtues that go to make the perfect man.”  (Pres David O. McKay)

Day 17: ___________________  Date: ___________________            
Read: Alma 6-10 Mark & Ponder: Alma 4:10
Scripture of the Day:
“...I say unto you, be one; and if ye are not one ye are not mine.” (D&C 38:27)
Thought for the day:
“Nothing is so much calculated to lead people to forsake sin and to take them by the
hand, and watch over them with tenderness.  When persons manifest the least kindness
and love to me,  O what power it has over my mind, while the opposite course has a
tendency to harrow up all the harsh feelings and depress the human mind.”
(Prophet Joseph Smith)

 Day 18: ___________________  Date: ___________________            
Read: Alma 11-14 Mark & Ponder: Alma 5: 14
Scripture of the Day:
“...That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day
of judgement.  For by thy words shalt thou be justified, and by thy words shalt thou be
condemned.” (Matthew 12:36-37)
Thought for the day:
“ What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies
within us.” (Oliver Wendell Holmes)

Day 19: ___________________  Date: ___________________            
Read: Alma 15-19 Mark & Ponder: Alma 11:40
Scripture of the Day:
“My God hath been my support; He hath filled me with his love; even unto the consuming
of my flesh. He hath confounded mine enemies, unto the causing of  them to quake
before me.  Behold, he hath given me knowledge by visions in the nighttime.”
(2 Nephi 4:20-23)
Thought for the day:
“The Lord works from the inside out.  The world works from the outside in.  The world
would take people out of the slums.  Christ takes the slums out of people, and then they
take themselves out of the slums.  The world would mold men by changing their
environment.  Christ changes men, who then change their environment.  The world
would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature.”
(Pres. Ezra Taft Benson)

Day 20: ___________________  Date: ___________________            
Read: Alma 20-24 Mark & Ponder: Alma 11:43
Scripture of the Day:
“Behold, verily, thus saith the Lord unto you: In consequence of evils and designs which
do and will exist in the hearts of men  in the last days, I have warned you, and
forewarned you, by giving unto you this word of wisdom by revelation”
(D&D 89:4)
Thought for the day:
“The great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we
are moving.” (Oliver Wendell Holmes)


— Day 21: ___________________  Date: ___________________            
Read: Alma 25-29 Mark & Ponder: Alma 30:60
Scripture of the Day:
“Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who shall stand in his holy place?  He that
hath clean hands and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn
deceitfully  He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the  God
of his salvation.  This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face , O
Jacob. Selah.” (Psalms 24: 3-6)
Thought for the day:
“Peace is more than a spot of ink on a piece of paper or a sound upon lips.  It is the
application of the teachings of the Prince of Peace in our daily lives.”
