May we care for our bodies and our minds by observing the principles set forth in the Word of Wisdom, a divinely provided plan.Tonight, brethren, I pray for the guidance of our Heavenly Father as I share my message with you.
In 1833 the Lord revealed to the Prophet Joseph Smith a plan for healthy living. That plan is found in the 89th section of the Doctrine and Covenants and is known as the Word of Wisdom. It gives specific direction regarding the food we eat, and it prohibits the use of substances which are harmful to our bodies.
Those who are obedient to the Lord’s commandments and who faithfully observe the Word of Wisdom are promised particular blessings, among which are good health and added physical stamina. ~ President Monson (October 2016 General Priesthood Session)
I thought it was interesting that President Monson spoke about the Word of Wisdom in the General Priesthood Session of Conference.
