"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:
And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it."
Amos 8:11-12
Reading this is a good reminder of how blessed we are to live at a time in history with prophets and apostles, and an abundance of the word of the Lord. Maybe everyone wonders what it would have been like to live during the time of Christ and actually be able to see and talk to him in person, or maybe to live in the City of Enoch, or to be gathered at the temple where Christ appeared in 3rd Nephi. To be able to meet the Brother of Jared or King Benjamin... all of these times in history would have been amazing to lives through, but our own time is also amazing. The gospel is restored, and Christ's church is organized. We have scriptures and talks and broadcasts to fill our lives with the word of the Lord should we so choose.
Today, let's remember and take advantage of the abundant blessings that we have been given, living at this time in history, and let's grow closer to God through hearing his word.
