"It is incumbent upon each of us to do everything we can to increase our spiritual knowledge and understanding by studying the scriptures and the words of the living prophets. "
M. Russell Ballard
We have an obligation to study the scriptures regularly and to make our spiritual knowledge and understanding of the highest priority. When I consider the time I spend reading other (good!) books, looking at very cute clothes online (as evidenced by this blog...) or listening to music, it is humbling to realize that if I am not putting in a solid block of time to study the scriptures, then I am IN EFFECT putting the world first - even if the things of the world I am looking at / reading / researching are indeed lovely and of good report...
Let's renew our commitment and pray for the discipline to prioritize consistent and sincere scripture study.
