Token

12 And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
Exodus 3:

We give to God by temple service a token, God then manifests his delivering and redeeming power.

Psalms

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
91:

I love the Psalms.  I imagine water in the Lord’s palm being poured upon a face providing refreshment and cleansing.  I love the “shadow” visual from this verse.

List

I love to find little gems, repeated nuggets- verses when I read my scriptures.  They come often in attached verses, like in Mosiah 2:32-33, "list" or "listeth".

Then I  google, the phrase biblical list; which identified a meaning, a variant of "lust", meaning "to wish".  See John 3:8 "the wind bloweth where it listeth".

Are we wishfully thinking or reading so quickly that we neglect the will of the Lord or what he is trying to tell us, being like "who listeth to obey that spirit"?

Unifying Houses

“Yes, nation after nation will become a house divided, but more and more unifying Houses of the Lord will grace this planet. Yes, Armageddon lies ahead. But so does Adam-ondi-Ahman! “
Neal Maxwell

He said this in 1980.  In 1980 there were 20 LDS temples.  Today over 150 temples are around the globe.

ReRead

In re reading the BOM,  I love finding references I tag with a particular like verse, Enos 1:27; Old Testament, Exodus 3:

9 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.    
10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.    
11 And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?

12 And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
