Doctrine and Covenants 1:35

"For I am no respecter of persons, and will that all men shall know that the day speedily cometh; the hour is not yet, but is  nigh at hand, when peace shall be taken from the earth, and the devil shall have power over his own dominion."
Doctrine and Covenants 1:35


Ezra Taft Benson said, referring to this verse, that "we live in that day," and I am thinking about that this morning.  It does seem like there are always wars going on, and the devil sure does have a lot of power.  I guess, at least to me, it just makes it that much more imperative that we turn to the Lord... He is the only one that can help us find a refuge, hope, and peace in this day.  Not that everything is bad. :)  We just have to remember to look for the good and not for the bad.  Even though the good might take a little more looking, it is well worth it.
