Helaman 3

"Yea, we see that whosoever will may lay hold upon the word of God, which is quick and powerful, which shall divide asunder all the cunning and the snares and the wiles of the devil, and lead the man of Christ in a strait and narrow course across that everlasting gulf of misery which is prepared to engulf the wicked—" (29).

The scriptures are the word of God. As we read and obey them, we obtain blessings. President Ezra Taft Benson said:

“Success in righteousness, the power to avoid deception and resist temptation, guidance in our daily lives, healing of the soul—these are but a few of the promises the Lord has given to those who will come to His word. Does the Lord promise and not fulfill? Surely if He tells us that these things will come to us if we lay hold upon His word, then the blessings can be ours. And if we do not, then the blessings may be lost. However diligent we may be in other areas, certain blessings are to be found only in the scriptures, only in coming to the word of the Lord and holding fast to it as we make our way through the mists of darkness to the tree of life” (“The Power of the Word").

Make sure you study them daily. It will bless your lives. To that I can testify. They certainly have blessed my life enormously. I've been happier. I've been able to complete everything that needed doing, even on the crazy days when there was much to do. When I fit in my studying of the scriptures, I am guided and inspired and the day goes so much better. I really encourage each one of you to spend time studying the scriptures each day. It will really bless your lives.
