2 Nephi 25:26. This scripture talks about Christ. I love it, read it this morning, and feel to amplify on it. We talk of Christ. Do we? How long has it been since we talked of Christ. We think of Christ. How long has it been since we really thought of Christ. We preach of Christ. How long has it been since we taught of Christ?
Sounds good. But in reality, I question how often I really do think of my Savior during the day. When dealing with co-workers, when solving some one's problem, when answering the phone, when eating lunch, how often do I think of Christ? Remember the words, "always remember him." What does always mean?
2 Bill 25:26, or my scripture says: When driving to work and someone cuts me off in traffic, do I think of Christ? When sitting at my desk and trying to work, do I think of Christ? When I greet people at work, do I think of Christ? When getting angry because the traffic light is taking too long, do I think of Christ? When purchasing something for the home or work, do I think of Christ? When typing on the computer, do I think of Christ? When filling up my gas tank, do I think of Christ? When paying bills, do I think of Christ? When dropping off to sleep, do I think of Christ?
When doing nothing and letting thoughts flow through my mind, questioning things, do I think of Christ? When considering what is going to happen tonight at home, do I think of Christ? How often do I even consider how important Christ is in my life?
Missionaries should be thinking of Christ almost constantly, for they are His representatives to the world. They leave their homes, go away, leave family behind and then represent Christ in many ways, in talk, in actions, in preaching, in greeting people, in bearing testimony of the truth, etc. So according to the scriptures, we should become accustomed to having Christ on our lips throughout the day, every day, and we should start practicing that today, preparing for the time when all day, every day we will be looked at as one who represents Christ daily. Another goal to work on.
I will strive to do so today. As I awoke, I felt His Spirit in my mind and if I am careful, there should be no reason to trudge through this day without Him. I shall try to return and report tomorrow.
