General Conference Address:  

“Some Great Thing” President James E Faust CR 10/2001

Thought:

“I would like to challenge the priesthood of the Church to be more committed in doing those things which build faith, character, and spirituality. These are the routine priesthood obligations we should be doing daily, weekly, monthly, year in and year out. The work of the Church depends upon basics such as paying tithes; taking care of family and priesthood duties; caring for the poor and the needy; having daily prayer, scripture study, and family home evening; home teaching; participation in quorum activity; and attending the temple. If called upon by the President of the Church, we would be ready, able, and willing to do “some great thing,” such as working on the Nauvoo temple, but many are not quite so anxious to do some of these basics.” Pres Faust Ibid.

Misc:

Naaman reminds us that humility is the real superpower. Ego and pride will keep you stuck. Humility will set you free!

Invitation: 

Take inventory of your day, week, and month. What are the simple things that are easy to forget to do? Write down a few and then pick one that you can do more consistently. It may be small, but it can become mighty.
