Maintaining Our Spirituality

So in my Book of Mormon class, we have an assignment to apply what we have learned into our lives. I chose to do a post on this blog so you guys can all read about it here!

Every week we watch these “Digging Deeper” videos, usually of talks given by prophets and apostles. This week I watched a talk about “Maintaining our Spirituality” by President Marion G. Romney. He talked about repentance playing a huge role in maintaining it. If we don’t repent, the Holy Ghost isn’t with us. We need to repent and be spiritually clean so we can maintain that spirituality.

I really like how this applies to this week’s lesson. We read the book of Ether, and it talked about how the people were wicked and prideful. The Lord sent down serpents and plagues to the people, and even then it took them forever to become humble. Ether 9:35 says, “And it came to pass that when they had humbled themselves sufficiently before the Lord he did send rain upon the face of the earth; and the people began to revive again, and there began to be fruit in the north countries, and in all the countries round about. And the Lord did show forth his power unto them in preserving them from famine.” I think this verse is important and can be applied to our lives. We need to humble ourselves and come unto Christ so that we can receive blessings. Especially in the world that we live in, we can’t afford to miss out on any blessings.
