"Seek not for riches but for wisdom, and behold, the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto you, and then shall you be made rich. Behold, he that hath eternal life is rich.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, even as you desire of me so it shall be unto you; and if you desire, you shall be the means of doing much good in this generation."
Doctrine and Covenants 6:7-8
The idea of getting what we desire is a recurring theme in the scriptures, and sometimes it is a scary idea, depending on what we desire, but here God gives us some suggestions about what would be good things to seek/desire. He mentions that wisdom is going to be better than riches, and lets us know that we could be the means of doing a lot of good, if that is something that we want.
Today, let's think about seeking wisdom and not riches. How are we approaching that goal in our lives? Do we have our priorities in order? Let's also think about how we could do much good... and talk with God about that. If we knew we could make a difference, where would we focus that effort--and then trust God when he says that we can.
Christ tells us "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" (Matthew 6:21, Luke 12:34, 3 Nephi 13:21). Let's figure out where are hearts are, and, if needed, switch up the treasure that we are aiming at, so that our hearts will come along as well. :)
