Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
The Word of Wisdom offers blessings that nourish both body and spirit, reminding us that revelation is tied to how we live each day. By honoring this law, we invite heaven’s wisdom and strength to flow into our lives in ways we may not expect.
Scripture
“And all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking in obedience to the commandments, shall receive health in their navel and marrow to their bones; and shall find wisdom and great treasures of knowledge, even hidden treasures; and shall run and not be weary, and shall walk and not faint.”—Doctrine and Covenants 89:18-20
Quote
“The fundamental purpose of the Word of Wisdom has to do with revelation. As valuable as the Word of Wisdom is as a law of health, it may be much more valuable to you spiritually than it is physically.”—Boyd K. Packer, “Prayers and Answers”
