40 Day Walk with Christ - Day 13

Read Alma 15-19
Mark & Ponder Alma 11:40
Scripture of the day: "My God hath been my support, He hat filled me with His love; even unto the consuming of my flesh. He hath confounded mine enemies, unto the causing of them to quake before m e. Behold, He hath given me knowledge by visions in the nighttime." (2 Nephi 4:20-23)
Thought for the day: "The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in.  The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of the people, and then they take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold me by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature." (Pres Ezra Taft Benson)
