Attributes of Christ- Dilligence

There is always something that can be done, something that can be learned, something that will stretch the heart and soul of man. Find something that you like to do, and do it well. Search out new things and add them to the things that you are willing to do and do well. 

Being anxiously engaged in a cause; builds the kingdom of God on earth. As one goes about the business of being engaged one gains respect of those that are being served. Testimonies are shared in example, as the tasks that are given are carried out with exactness and honor. All know that the work performed is being done because of the love for the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Everything that is done should be done in the name of Christ. When one is baptized it must be recognized that they are on his errand. Daily priority should serving him in professional daily work, building up the family,  hobbies; these are all opportunities to bring others to the body of Christ. 

Nephi, taught that when one follows after the manner of the Lord the fruits of labor are success. When the labor performed is after the manner of men the spirit is removed and trial ensues. That is not to say that trials wont come when the spirit is being heeded. Often it comes with great struggle and sacrifice to come off conqueror. 

Enos talked of a great struggle he had with the Lord. Alma talks of wrestling with the spirit. 

Now is the time to stand up and do something!

Attributes of Christ - obedience

Christ, had to be baptized that he might show us the way. More than that he kept the commandments of the father. He was doing the will of him that sent him. 

Nephi taught that if one would learn and do what the father commands then the father promises to nourish us, strengthen us, and provide a way to accomplish the task that is required of us. 

The great blessing of obedience is knowing where one stands. Once the decision is made it is easier to continue making righteous decisions. It is in the gospel of Jesus Christ that we are given aide direction to chart the course home. It has never been more important to stand up stand tall and be what we are suppose to be. Noble servants of a loving Heavenly Father

Priorities

Lehi was commanded to leave and go into the wilderness. He did so taking only his family and a few provisions. Lehi was faithful enough to trust the spirit. Trust that things were going to be ok. He had a  knowledge that God would provide. 

In those little moments are our priorities such that we are willing to trust our Heavenly Father? It all comes down to what are we willing to do and say. Is our faith strong enough to leave home? Is family the only thing that matters? 

Turning our hearts from the world and toward heaven requires simple steps that navigate us home. Prayer, Scripture study, building strong family relationships,  and learning that the stuff around us really is no more than that. Putting our priorities in order brings us closer to obtaining what really matters. 

The gospel of Jesus Christ allows us to put into our lives a plan that brings happiness. Living within the gospel standard provides for peace and harmony. Ultimately these priority shifts build a roadmap that guide the humble and bless the meek and lowly to feel the spirit working in their lives.
