Thought for Monday 9/1/14 - Dieter F. Uchtdorf on following spiritual landmarks: Spiritual landmarks are indispensable for keeping us on the straight and narrow path. They give clear direction as to the way we should travel--but only if we recognize them and walk toward them. If we refuse to be guided by these landmarks, they become meaningless, decorative masses that have no purpose but to break up the flatness of the horizon. Its not enough to go solely by our instincts. Its not enough to have the best of intentions. It wont do to rely only on our natural senses. Even when we think we are following a straight spiritual path, without true landmarks to guide us--without the guidance of the Spirit--we will tend to wander. Let us, therefore, open our eyes and see the landmarks our benevolent God has provided to His children. Let us read, hear, and apply the word of God. Let us pray with real intent and listen to and follow the promptings of the Spirit. Once we have recognized the supernal landmarks offered by our loving Heavenly Father, we should set our course by them. We should also make regular course corrections as we orient ourselves toward spiritual landmarks. In this way, we will not wander in circles but walk with confidence and certainty toward that great heavenly blessing that is the birthright of all who walk in the straight and narrow way of Christs discipleship. - Dieter F.
