Spiritual Liahonas

The words of Christ in the scriptures and modern revelation can provide us with guidance in our lives. In the Book of Mormon, the prophet Nephi taught "I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do." (2 Nephi 32:3) Alma taught his son Helaman about the Liahona in the Book of Mormon. The Liahona was a director that showed them where to go according to their faith. Alma explained "it [the Liahona] did work for them according to their faith in God; therefore, if they had faith to believe that God could cause that those spindles should point the way they should go" (Alma 37:40) Alma then there is a lesson to be learned from the Liahona. He said, "And now I say, is there not a type in this thing? For just as surely as this director did bring our fathers, by following its course, to the promised land, shall the words of Christ, if we follow their course, carry us beyond this vale of sorrow into a far better land of promise." (Alma 37:45)

The words of Christ contained in the scriptures and modern revelation can guide us. Commenting on Alma's teaching Elder Rolfe Kerr testified,

"So we see, brethren and sisters, that the words of Christ can be a personal Liahona for each of us, showing us the way. Let us not be slothful because of the easiness of the way. Let us in faith take the words of Christ into our minds and into our hearts as they are recorded in sacred scripture and as they are uttered by living prophets, seers, and revelators. Let us with faith and diligence feast upon the words of Christ, for the words of Christ will be our spiritual Liahona telling us all things what we should do"("The Words of Christ- Our Spiritual Liahona")

As we search the scriptures and ponder them we will be blessed with guidance on how to live our lives. We will learn how we should live and find comfort in troubled times. I know that the words of Christ in the scriptures can bless us and encourage everyone to read and ponder them

P.S. The church just put out a video for Christmas. Here it is in case anyone wants to watch it.
