"And it came to pass that peace and the love of God was restored again among the people; and they searched the scriptures, and hearkened no more to the words of this wicked man."
Jacob 7:23
I kind of like this verse out of context of the surrounding story, because it helps to point out that searching the scriptures and listening to God are sources of peace and love, and maybe we need that lesson repeated sometimes... searching the scriptures is a great default answer for a lot of things in life, and an important source of the word of God.
Today, when we have questions, instead of Googling or phoning a friend, let's take a few minutes to think about what God's answers are. The answers in the scriptures might not adapt to every single question on earth, but they can probably solve most of them, and the ones that scriptues can't solve, prayer (and patience) can. Let's remember to look to God, which will help us find life and peace and love, and everything good.
