3rd Nephi 14

The Savior once again is teaching that He is less concerned about the outward law and more concerned about our hearts and how we treat others.

In chapter 14 verses 1-5 He counsels us not to judge.

In 7 - 11 He reminds us that we can pray for God's help; that God wants to help us. 

In verse 12 He gives us the Golden Rule.

In verses 15-23 He teaches that by their fruits ye shall know them. Goodness creates goodness. 

Then in verses 24-27 He gives us the parable of the wise men and the foolish man.

The wise man builds his house upon the rock. Think back to Helaman 5:12 where Helaman teaches his sons, "It is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God that you must build your foundation."

So if we draw that rock and consider all the Savior's words-what does that rock look like?

I am doing okay outwardly but my heart is troubled these days, filled with worry. I feel the need to place myself firmly on that Rock.  I find I just need more quiet time, time to meditate and ponder and put myself right with my Heavenly Father. I seek the peace that only comes from Him and which gives me the strength to live by my convictions and hopefully do some small bit of good in this world.
