Thought for Tuesday 6/3/14 - Harold B. Lee on the living water of the scriptures: Just as water was and is today essential to the physical life of those who settle in this country, just so is the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ essential to the spiritual life of Gods children. That analogy is suggested by the words of the Savior to the woman at the well in Samaria, when He said: ...whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life (John 4:14). Great reservoirs of spiritual water, called scriptures, have been provided in this day and have been safeguarded that all might partake and be spiritually fed, and that they thirst not. That these scriptures have been considered of great importance, is indicated by the words of the Savior, Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me (John 5:39).... Through these generations the messages from our Father have been safeguarded and carefully protected, and mark you likewise that in this day the scriptures are the purest at their source, just as the waters were purest at the mountain source; the purest word of God, and that least apt to be polluted, is that which comes from the lips of the living prophets who are set up to guide Israel in our own day and time. - Harold B. Lee, Conference Report, Oct. 1943, 101 Read the full talk here: scriptures.byu.edu/gettalk.php?ID=95
