“But We Heeded Them Not” by David A. Bednar

40 Day General Conference Challenge DAY 4

TALK: “But We Heeded Them Not” by David A. Bednar

NAMES OF CHRIST: Lord Jesus Christ, Redeemer, Savior, Lord, Helper

“..faith focused in and on the Lord Jesus Christ fortifies us with spiritual strength. Faith in the Redeemer is a principle of action and of power. As we act in accordance with the truths of His gospel, we are blessed with the spiritual capacity to press forward through the challenges of mortality while focusing on the joys the Savior offers to us. Truly, ‘if we do what’s right we have no need to fear, for the Lord, our helper, will ever be near.’”

-David A. Bednar

QUOTE ABOUT JESUS CHRIST:

“Entering into sacred covenants and worthily receiving priesthood ordinances yoke us with and bind us to the Lord Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. This simply means that we trust in the Savior as our Advocate and Mediator and rely on His merits, mercy, and grace during the journey of life.”

-David A. Bednar

SCRIPTURE:

 “he saw other multitudes pressing forward; and they came and caught hold of the end of the rod of iron; and they did press their way forward, continually holding fast to the rod of iron, until they came forth and fell down and partook of the fruit of the tree.”

-1 Nephi 8:30

INSPIRING QUOTE:

“As we are steadfast in coming unto Christ and are yoked with Him, we receive the cleansing, healing, and strengthening blessings of His infinite and eternal Atonement.”

-David A. Bednar

INVITATION TO ACT:

“Let me suggest that holding fast to the word of God entails (1) remembering, honoring, and strengthening the personal connection we have with the Savior and His Father through the covenants and ordinances of the restored gospel and (2) prayerfully, earnestly, and consistently using the holy scriptures and the teachings of living prophets and apostles as sure sources of revealed truth.”

–David A. Bednar

PROMISED BLESSING:

“I witness that fidelity to the covenants and ordinances of the Savior’s restored gospel enables us to press on in the work of the Lord, to hold fast to Him as the Word of God, and to heed not the allurements of the adversary. In the fight for right, may each of us wield a sword, even ‘the mighty sword of truth.’”

–David A. Bednar

REFLECTION QUESTION:

  • What is the difference between clinging to and continually holding fast?

LEARNING STYLE STUDY IDEA:

MUSIC LEARNERS:

  • Listen to your favorite version of “Let Us All Press On” on repeat today (or listen to several and choose a new favorite).

MY THOUGHTS:

 I remember learning “Let Us All Press On” in Primary when I was a child and singing with great vigor and conviction.

Just last year, I helped coordinate several musical numbers for a special devotional in our stake. A beautiful version of “Let Us All Press On” performed by the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square was requested by our stake president. With only two practices, plus “an unseen power”, it came together perfectly in a few short days.

I love finding phrases in hymns and relating them to my life–I also love when they play on repeat in my mind throughout the day.
