The Power of Everyday Scripture with Emily Belle Freeman

The scriptures provide us with the relief and peace we are seeking. We are promised that our testimony of the Savior will come through reading the word of God, and the scriptures will give us steadiness in an increasingly unstable world. Sometimes, it takes effort to get into the scriptures, but any effort we make is always worth it! 

"He is concerned with the little details that are making up my life."

Kathryn and today's guest Emily Belle Freeman continue the conversation about scripture. Emily is a woman who loves scripture and has from an early age! She's a beloved gospel teacher who has discovered how to incorporate the scriptures into her everyday life.

 

Top takeaways from this episode:

• It's okay if your love for the scriptures comes over time! It's similar to developing a relationship with a person. It takes time and work.
• Learn how to harness the power that the scriptures have to provide counsel and guidance.
• Find what you need from the scriptures and then go to them with that need in mind. It really can be so simple!
• You don't always need to set aside a lot of time. You can read one verse a day and it will gradually build upon itself.

 

Small and simple challenge: Wherever you go this week, take your scriptures with you and try to keep them open. As you are cleaning, making lunch, sitting at your desk, or just having a quiet moment alone in your room, keep the scriptures open to the same page you were reading in your studies and wait for what will stand out to you.
