This week Cindy Caruso gave the lesson "The Scriptures, The Most Valuable Library In The World By" Scriptures are vitally important to our understand of Heavenly Father and his will for us. No where else will we be able to find everything we need to gain our salvation. It is vitally important that we regularly read the scriptures alone and with our family.
"My brethren and sisters, all the truth that is … necessary for our
salvation, is contained within the lids of the books that I have already
enumerated. We may not possess a library of two or three thousand
volumes, but we may possess at small cost a priceless library that has
cost the best blood that has ever been in this world."
This quote really hit me. I have a large bookshelf filled with books and I also own an electronic reader stuffed full of books, yet all of that is not nearly as important as the small triple combination that I have sitting in my night stand next to my bed. It is so easy to let worldly reading creep into scripture reading time yet all those books will not be nearly as helpful in my quest to return to my Heavenly Father as the scriptures are.
