Pondering Strengthens the Spiritual Life
Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin
Of the First Quorum of the Seventy
Pondering the things of God opens spiritual understanding and helps us choose purity and lasting joy.
“Pondering, which means to weigh mentally, to deliberate, to meditate”
“The body is indeed the servant of the mind.”
“there is no real joy that does not involve self-denial”
“a deep, ongoing, regenerating process which refines the soul”
Scriptures
D&C 138:1–2, 11; 3 Ne. 17:3; Matt. 7:24
