D&C 25:13 Wherefore, lift up thy heart and rejoice, and cleave unto the covenants which thou hast made.
When I read that verse, I stopped. I had planned to read the rest of the study materials for this Sunday, but I couldn't go on. Cleave unto my covenants. I'm not quite sure what it means, but I know it's something I am supposed to ponder and do.
Maybe it means I should focus on the promises I have made and the promised blessings I will receive. Rather than looking for more knowledge or different blessings, I should live according to the covenants I have already made. If I strive to live up to my end of the deal, it will keep me busy the rest of my life. If I always have the Lord's spirit with me on this earth and have the promise of His blessings for me and my family for eternity, what more can I ask for?
(Next day's thoughts) There is safety and peace in cleaving to my covenants. If I am fulfilling my covenants, all of the warnings the Lord gives to his people won't apply to me. I won't need to worry about being left behind when the bridegroom comes. I won't have to worry that my seed will wither and die. I won't need to worry that I will be an unprofitable servant. If I am living up to my covenants, I will be where the Lord wants me to be.
