followHIM - Doctrine & Covenants 84 : followHIM Favorites

Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, my friends. My name is Hank Smith, and I am the host of a podcast called Follow Him. I'm here with my co-host, the incredible John, by the way. We're doing a little clip we call Follow Him Favorites, where we take just one piece of our Come Follow Me lesson, and we use it as our Follow Him Favorites. So, John, section 84 is the entire lesson this week. What is your follow him favorite? There's so much here, but there's some things that I love in here that kind of sound like parts of the Sermon on the Mount. You know why? Because they are parts of the Sermon on the Mount. But where the Lord's just, you know, there's a lot of anxiousness in our world. There's a lot of worry. There's a lot of concern. And I totally get it.

Starting point is 00:00:42 But the Lord's saying, well, just consider the lilies of the field. I'm in verse 82. These are beautiful little flowers, how they grow. They toil not neither did they spin and the kingdoms of the world and all their glory and not array like one of these for your father who is in heaven knoweth that you have need of all these things. Therefore, let the moral take thought for the things of itself. And he's not saying don't think about tomorrow, but he is saying, you know what it says in the New Testament when it says thought, it says anxious concern. It means worry. Don't worry so much. Heavenly Father's got this. He's got you. And these lilies of the field that do nothing are beautiful. He's going to take even better care of you. So you can just let some anxiety out, let some nervousness out. I'm going to be okay. I love that teaching of the Savior right there. Yeah. And work today. You've got enough problems today

Starting point is 00:01:37 to worry about. I don't think we need to worry about tomorrow. He's got you. Yeah. Do your very best today and tomorrow's going to be, tomorrow's going to work itself out. I love, uh, my follow him favorite is, uh, all the way over in verse 110. There's not very many places where you find verses up into the three, three digits, right? Um, he says the body hath need of every member member means part there. So our body needs all of its parts that all may be edified together. So he's talking about the church and how the church needs every single person that all may be edified together, that the system may be perfect. There's nobody in this church that's an appendix, right? That we can have an appendectomy and be like, we don't need you. We don't need you. We don't need you. Right. You, John, you know how important it is to have kidneys, right? Because you're missing one.

Starting point is 00:02:31 Yeah. And you would like to have all, to have it back. So we need everybody, but everybody's also different, right? My, you know, fingers and thumbs and noses and ears, all these things are all different, but they work together and they need each other. So I hope that you realize in your family, in the church, that you're needed. You're a valuable part. And we can treat everyone as if they're a valuable part because they are. It's almost like a choir, right, John? Everybody sings a different... Harmony is being different together. One of my favorites. Yeah. Yeah. That fits section 110. Awesome.

Starting point is 00:03:10 Verse 110. Well, we hope you'll join us on our podcast this week. We're with Barbara, Dr. Barbara Morgan Gardner. We think you'll love it. So you can find us wherever you get your podcast. We'll see you there.
