Think On These Things

"To enable us to keep our minds centered on righteousness, we should consciously elect to ponder the truths of salvation in our hearts. Brother Packer yesterday pleaded with eloquence that we sing the songs of Zion in order to center our thoughts on wholesome things. I would like to add that we can also—after we have had the opening song—call on ourselves to preach a sermon. I have preached many sermons walking along congested city streets, or tramping desert trails, or in lonely places, thus centering my mind on the Lord’s affairs and the things of righteousness; and I might say they have been better sermons than I have ever preached to congregations".
Bruce R. McConkie, Quorum of Twelve

Mental sermons can be developed in our minds of the scriptures that we read, and placed in our minds our we walk, muse or drive along.  

I like this short message from the Apostle Paul:

"A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump."
Galatians 5:9, KJV

Contained and Unfolding II

From this scripture I visualize: Mosiah 8:19...

Contained & Unfolding

Here telling of the power of the word: Mosiah 8:19- "great mystery in contained" and "unfolding of such mysteries to the children of men".

Scripture Labor

Our scripture study should be a more deeper daily exercise:

Brothers and sisters, on very thin pages, thick with meaning, are some almost hidden scriptures. Hence we are urged to search, feast, and ponder(see John 5:39; Alma 14:1; Alma 33:2; Moro. 10:3; 2 Ne. 9:51). Especially, however, we should also do more of what Nephi did, namely “liken all scriptures unto [ourselves]” (1 Ne. 19:23).
Elder Neal Maxwell
