40 Day General Conference Challenge DAY 31
QUOTE ABOUT JESUS CHRIST:
“During eternity’s most crucial, agonizing hours, our Savior did not shrink but partook of the bitter cup. How did He do it? We learn, ‘For the joy that was set before him [Christ] endured the cross,’ His will ‘being swallowed up in the will of the Father.’”.
–Brian K. Taylor
SCRIPTURE:
“And the Lord provided for them that they should hunger not, neither should they thirst; yea, and he also gave them strength, that they should suffer no manner of afflictions, save it were swallowed up in the joy of Christ. Now this was according to the prayer of Alma; and this because he prayed in faith.”
-Alma 31:38
INSPIRING QUOTE:
“Why do some receive their yearned-for miracles quickly, while others patiently endure, waiting upon the Lord?”
–Brian K. Taylor
INVITATION TO ACT:
“One—stronger faith comes by putting Jesus Christ first…Two—brighter hope comes by envisioning our eternal destiny…Three—greater power comes by focusing on joy.”
–Brian K. Taylor
A PROMISED BLESSING:
“With joyful reverence, I witness our Savior lives and ‘His promises are sure.’ Especially for you who are troubled or who are ‘afflicted in any manner,’ I testify that our Heavenly Father hears your tearful pleadings and will always respond in perfect wisdom. ‘May God grant unto you,’ as He has done for our family in times of great need, ‘that your burdens may be light,’ even ‘swallowed up in the joy of Christ.’”
–Brian K. Taylor
