"Therefore, whoso readeth it, let him understand, for the Spirit manifesteth truth;
And whoso is enlightened by the Spirit shall obtain benefit therefrom;
And whoso receiveth not by the Spirit, cannot be benefited. Therefore it is not needful that it should be translated. Amen."
Doctrine and Covenants 91:4-6
This section is talking about the Apocrypha, but it also seems like a good overall rule... if we have the spirit with us, then we will be able to discern truth in the things that we read and in the world around us, and if we don't have the spirit, then we are left with little to no benefit.
Today, let's step up our game on cultivating the Spirit in our lives, rather than just slipping into a routine or habit that doesn't include the mindfulness and connection with God that we really need in our lives.
