Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
Reverence for the sacred means treating holy things—scripture, revelation, covenants—with humility, care, and the guidance of the Spirit. As we approach how we speak and what we share with this mindset, we open ourselves to deeper gratitude, clearer revelation, and lasting joy.
Scripture
“Remember that that which cometh from above is sacred, and must be spoken with care, and by constraint of the Spirit.”—Doctrine and Covenants 63:64
Quote
“Reverence for the sacred fosters genuine gratitude, expands true happiness, leads our minds to revelation, and brings greater joy to our lives.”—Ulisses Soares

Living the Principle: Reverence for the Sacred
- Set aside five quiet minutes each day to read scripture without distractions, focusing on the Spirit’s impressions rather than rushing to finish.
- Before speaking about sacred topics in church or with others, pause to pray for guidance so your words reflect reverence and truth.
- Create a dedicated space in your home—however small—for scripture study, keeping it clean and free of media or clutter to reflect its spiritual purpose.
