Are You On the Lord’s Team? | 18 September

Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!

Choosing the Lord’s side requires more than good intentions; it takes daily choices that strengthen our commitment to Him. Where can we practice greater consistency so our faith shapes how we serve, respond to challenges, and use our time?

Scripture

“Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord’s side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.”—Exodus 32: 26

Quote

“You’ve made the team, the Lord’s team, because of your superior, dedicated performance. What a privilege is now yours as you exercise with service and love, build your endurance as you prayerfully confront life’s challenges, and partake of nutritional spiritual food as you read and ponder the scriptures to build and maintain your spiritual stamina and muscle tone. Make your priesthood fitness a priority, applying the constant dedication of a professional athlete until it consumes your life, until it flows from you with nerves and mind conditioned.”—J. Thomas Fyans, “Who’s on the Lord’s Team?”
