Thursday Devotional
Song
Hum Your Favorite Hymn (Children’s #152)
Scripture
Doctrine and Covenants 63:13–23
Discussion
- Sometimes people make wrong choices. But no one wakes up one day and suddenly decides to be bad when they have always been good.
- A bad choice (a sin) usually starts when we think bad thoughts a lot of the time.
- If we leave those bad thoughts in our heads, they move into our hearts. We need to get rid of them.
- Some ways to help keep our thoughts clean is by listening to good music, watching good TV shows, having good friends, reading scriptures, saying prayers, and going to church.
- When we get a bad or wrong thought, we can do any of those things to help invite the Spirit and get the bad thought out.
