As most of the political leaders discussing about helping the Earth un slow down the global warming by reducing the total amount of "poluted gas" from each country. I reflected on what can I do to slow down this sign of second coming.
The scripture said...
"And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a man should run faster then he has strength. And again, it is expedient that he should be diligent, that thereby he might win the price; therefore, all things must be done in order" - Mosiah 4 :27
I love this verse so much... "we" should be diligent, but run with our own strength.
I can bring my own shoping bag for grocery shooping at NTUC Fairprice..
I can eat at the neighbourhood hawker centre in stead of packing the food to eat in my room..
I can open the window before I sleep instead of switch on the air-con..
I know there are many small things that we can do "with diligent", and we will win the price at the end...
This is like some of us always think "How can I totally obey to all the commandments?"
But what Heavenly father request from us just start with our own strength..
If you can read scripture for 15 minutes before you dozed off.. go ahead STARt now...
If you can not switch on the TV / computer on Sunday after church... START now...
If you can fast for 20 hours, START now...
If you forget to pray... Do it now...
I know if we do all things with diligent... We'll win the price at the end...
"The Lord doesn't expecr us to work harder than we are able. He doesn't (nor should we) compare our efforts to those of others. Our Heavenly Father asks only that we do the best we can -- that we work according to our full capacity, however great or small that may be" - Pres. Uchtdorf Nov 2009
