Message from the Morning Devotions

by Cassia Drywood

For the month of February, we've had Uncles Peter Robinson, Tom Colby, Don Luff, and Ian Macfarlane giving us our morning devotions. We are thankful to all of them for all their work and effort. We have learned about many different topics that were very interesting and helpful. One of the topics that we learned was the difference between self-control and conceit. We had learned that having self-control helps to keep ourselves humble, but conceit causes us to be proud and selfish. It says in Proverbs 28:11 that "the rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out." It is important for us to not obtain the riches of the world that can make us proud and greedy, but instead we must search out the truth and apply it to our lives. This way we can walk humbly before our Heavenly Father. Another topic that was brought to our attention was why we should forgive others. We are told in Matthew 6:14, "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you." We all make mistakes, and we often regret them and need forgiveness for them. It is important for us to forgive others, so God will forgive us too.
