Doctrine and Covenants 111:11

"Therefore, be ye as wise as serpents and yet without sin; and I will order all things for your good as fast as ye are able to receive them. Amen."
Doctrine and Covenants 111:11


I love this verse. So interesting. I like that God wants us to be wise. I think that there is a bias out there sometimes that goes something like "when people believe in Religion, they obviously aren't thinking straight" or "religious people are ignorant" or something along those lines... but here, God tells us very clearly that he wants us to think... he wants us to be wise. And you *can* think and gain wisdom and knowledge and all of those things, and still be righteous. Wise as serpents and yet without sin... love it. :) And the second part is equally cool, because, really, what is it but God telling us that if we do things the right way, the world really *does* revolve around us sometimes? :) As soon as we are ready for them, things will fall into place... if we are righteous and prepared. Sounds amazing, doesn't it? So, let's work on those things today... being wise, righteous, and prepared. :)
