Peace like a River



I love scripture in 1 Nephi 20:18, "O that thou hadst harkened to my commandments- then had thy peace been as a river and they righteousness as the waves of the sea." If you think about a river, it is ever flowing. Nothing can stop it from flowing. The waves of the sea are constant. I love walking a long the ocean shore and hearing the waves on the sand. I think most people do love that!! Heavenly Father is clear when he tells us that if we are righteous like the waves of the sea, constant and exactly obedient to the Lord then He will give us peace that is ever flowing! Who wouldn't want that? What a great promise that is!

I have been thinking about the Holy Ghost as well. This morning I studied in Preach My Gospel about Learning by the Holy Ghost. I think about the great gift of the Holy Ghost. Heavenly Father gives us the third member of the Godhead to be with us at all times if we are obedient and live righteously. The Holy Ghost is a little piece of Godliness that is with us. I have never thought about truly how important the Holy Ghost is! He is our way to receiving personal revelation that will guide our lives but he acts under the direction of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I am so eternally grateful for the Holy Ghost and his guiding hand in my life! I know that he will never lead us astray if we follow his guidance! Although his voice is still and small so that often times means that we must take a second to be still to feel his influence in our lives and receive the answers to our prayers. He is always constant and will do his job if we are living worthy of His companionship! I am so grateful for his guidance!!
