“In the busyness of our daily lives, we may be distracted
from the eternal things that matter the most by making pleasure, prosperity,
popularity, and prominence our primary priorities. Our short-term preoccupation
with the things of this world and the honors of men may lead us to forfeit our
spiritual birthright for far less than a mess of pottage. Each of us should
evaluate our temporal and spiritual priorities sincerely and prayerfully to
identify the things in our lives that may impede the bounteous blessings that
Heavenly Father and the Savior are willing to bestow upon us. And surely the
Holy Ghost will help us to see ourselves as we really are. As we appropriately
seek for the spiritual gift of eyes to see and ears to hear, I promise we will
be blessed with the capacity and judgment to strengthen our covenant connection
with the living Lord.” - Elder David A.
Bednar
