Book of Mormon

“There is a power in the book which will begin to flow into your lives the moment you begin a serious study of the book. You will find greater power to resist temptation. You will find the power to avoid deception. You will find the power to stay on the strait and narrow path. … When you begin to hunger and thirst after those words, you will find life in greater and greater abundance” (Ezra Taft Benson, Ensign,Nov. 1986, 7).

The Great Commandment- Love the Lord by Pres. Benson

"We must put God in the forefront of everything else in our lives. He must come first, just as He declares in the first of His Ten Commandments: “Thou shalt have no other gods before me” (Ex. 20:3).

When we put God first, all other things fall into their proper place or drop out of our lives. Our love of the Lord will govern the claims for our affection, the demands on our time, the interests we pursue, and the order of our priorities."

This quote has influenced me for years.  When life starts to feel overwhelming & out of balance this little quote helps me re-prioritize.  I clearly haven't mastered the concept, but the reminder always does me good.
