A Righteous Battle


Since the new year began, we have been reading the daily message from Gordon B. Hinckley's book "Stand A Little Taller" before we say our bedtime prayer. Tonight Kerry asked me to read, and so I opened it up to see that the message for today was "A Righteous Battle."

"Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil," begins the scripture from Ephesians. The message from Pres. Hinckley tells us that "we are involved in an intense battle."

So far, most days the messages seem to pertain to what is going on, right now, in our family. These three have stood out in the past week -
January 6 (the day we went to the oncologist): Faith Overcomes
January 7 : The Power of Prayer
January 8 : Healing Power

I'm glad that I had the inspiration to look for this little book that Kerry gave me for Valentine's day in 2002, it's good to have a little daily dose of something that reminds us that there is no obstacle too great, no challenge too difficult, if we have faith.
