Hearken ye to these words. Behold, I am Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. Treasure these things up in your hearts, and let the solemnities of eternity rest upon your minds.
D&C 43:34
The world and its ills crowd upon us through our media, our technology, and our life-style until we eat and sleep, rest and work, travel and wait with schedule in hand, always at top speed, and through it all we find little time to search out the counsel of the Lord.
The remedy is to be had in complying with the Lord's counsel to "let the solemnities of eternity rest upon [our] minds." (D&C 43:34.) If we will be obedient to the Lord's counsel to study the scriptures, the solemnities of eternity will indeed rest upon our minds... Drinking deeply from these springs of living water will bless each member of the Church. Don't let yourselves be too busy or too tired to so drink. The added strength, wisdom, and inspiration which comes therefrom will repay your efforts a thousandfold. ("Seek Not to Counsel the Lord," Ensign, Aug. 1985, 5)
