Monday Devotional
Song
Israel, Israel, God Is Calling (Hymns #7)
Scripture
Discussion
- To the early Saints, the Church was more than a place to hear some preaching on Sunday.
- Many people were being persecuted, so the Lord told them to gather in Kirtland, Ohio. This was very far for some people, and difficult to do. (See this map at the end of this section in the CFM manual.)
- During this time, Joseph Smith was translating parts of the Bible. They had been translated incorrectly by men who were not prophets, so Joseph was working on them. Gathering Zion to Kirtland was so important, the Lord had Joseph stop translating so he could focus on the move.
- We aren’t asked to gather to a physical place now. Instead, we are asked to make Zion in our local stakes. How can we gather in our local congregations?
