"For the things which some men esteem to be of great worth, both to the body and soul, others set at naught and trample under their feet. Yea, even the very God of Israel do men trample under their feet; I say, trample under their feet but I would speak in other words—they set him at naught, and hearken not to the voice of his counsels."
1 Nephi 19:7
The idea of trampling God underfoot is disturbing, and perhaps an image that will help us think about it, and avoid it. I think we see this around us a lot, but we don't always consider how we are often treating God in our own lives as an acquaintance or even someone we would like to avoid. In actuality, God is our best friend and the only thing 100% solid in our lives. He doesn't do anything that isn't for our benefit, and he is willing to work with us individually to help us find our path and our potential.
Today, let's be certain that we are the ones that are esteeming God, and the things of God, to be of great worth. Let's listen to his counsel, and find our answers and our rewards in him. Instead, let's give God the attention, the respect, and the honor that he deserves, and allow him into our lives and our hearts permanently.
