Why?

We all know that studying the scriptures is a commandment. But doing it is not always easy. Check out some of the blessings promised to you for keeping this commandment: 

"The way to develop greater spirituality . . . ." Ezra Taft Benson

". . . greater wisdom with which to guide ourselves and our families . . . ." Spencer W Kimball

“There’s an increase in faith and a desire to do what’s right and a feeling of inspiration and understanding . . . ." Bruce R McConkie

"The spirit of reverence will increase; mutual respect and consideration for each other will grow. The spirit of contention will depart. Parents will counsel their children in greater love and wisdom. Children will be more responsive and submissive to the counsel of their parents." Marion G. Romney

". . .  you will not be deceived in these perilous times, but you shall have the spirit of discernment and you shall know the truth and shall know falsehood, for you shall have power to know the spirits of men and to understand the Spirit of the Lord.” Joseph Fielding Smith

“... an added measure of the Spirit of the Lord, strengthened resolution to walk in obedience to His commandments, and stronger testimony of the living reality of the Son of God." Gordon B Hinckley


"Children taught an understanding of the scriptures early in life will come to know the path they should walk and will be more inclined to remain on that path. Those who stray will have the ability to return and, with help,can find their way back." Boyd K Packer

"...have faith rather than fear, to find hope and overcome despair, to leave darkness and turn toward the light of the everlasting gospel." Boyd K Packer

There will be peace in our homes, love and kindness will grow, children will listen to their parents, and parents will counsel with their children in patience. Daniel L Johnson

Just like kids, we all like to know why we should do what we are told. The blessings we are promised can help to give the extra boast needed to move forward. 

Which blessings are inspiration for you?
