Security

I am in the middle of reading "Nephi's Isaiah" by Denver Snuffer, and I wanted to share a quote and the thoughts it brought to my mind.

"We are corrupt in our minds, and therefore lack the faith to worship God in the way he would approve. He would like us to progress from "grace to grace" until we receive a "fullness" of light and truth." (see D&C 93: 12-20)

*
Becoming a Zion person involves moving from grace to grace. I feel a burning desire to be taught by the spirit how to worship in all the ways that our Father approves. And then to be faithfully obedient to this knowledge.

"There is almost no corner of the earth where the productivity of modern commerce could not feed the poor, clothe the naked, and house the unsheltered. Yet we have the cold, hungry and naked in all those continents... all in the pursuit of security, and neglect those in real need. We fail to realize security comes from God. And self security comes from knowing you have treated the beggars with charity."

*This touched my heart and reaffirmed the importance of our undertaking. We will be angels of abundance for many.
