I'm a new mom just trying to get back in the habit of studying my scriptures everyday again. This blog holds me accountable :)

Happiness and Knowledge

Ammon glorifies God in chapter 26. He brings up a few great points:

Verse 13 Behold how many thousands of our brethren has he loosed from hell; and they are brought to sing redeeming love, and this because of the power of his word which is in us, therefore have we not great reason to rejoice?

“Happiness comes from what happens on the inside of you, not on the outside.”

Verse 27 Now when our hearts were depressed, and we were about to turn back, behold, the Lord comforted us, and said: Go amongst thy brethren, the Lamanites, and bear with patience thine afflictions, and I will give unto you success.

Rather than being depressed, be patient!

Verse 22 talks about what we need to do to know the mysteries of God:

  1. Repent
  2. Exercise Faith
  3. Good Works
  4. Pray continually

Cross-reference D&C 76:6-10
