A little serendipity happen this weekend in our family scripture reading. We are reading King Benjamin's address in the Book of Mosiah and it was General Conference on TV.
It's been a little while since we were in Mosiah, and I was pleased to recall the simplicity of the message Benjamin is relating to his people. In verse 22 of chapter ,he says:
"And behold, all that he requires of you is to keep his commandments; and he has promised you that if ye would keep his commandments ye should prosper in the land; and he never doth vary from that which he hath said; therefore, if ye do keep his commandments he doth bless you and prosper you."
That sounds like what the general authorities of the church taught us all weekend: Keep the commandments and you'll be blessed.
I'm glad that Gospel of Jesus Christ is just that simple. It makes it easier to keep track of, don't you think? "When you're good you're glad, when you're bad you're sad." That makes sense to me.
