Quick Verse Study-2 Nephi 1:7 Him Whom He Shall Bring

Last updated on: February 8, 2020 at 7:03 pm By Delisa Hargrove

In Quick Verse Study-2 Nephi 1:7 This Land Is Consecrated Unto Him, I wrote a few quick thoughts about how the American continent is consecrated by God to whomever He brings to the land and how one meaning of that could include introducing people to the land at the time that the land becomes sanctified and celestialized. Here’s 2 Nephi 1:7. Wherefore, this land is consecrated unto him whom he shall bring. And if it so be that they shall serve him according to... Read more

Quick Verse Study-2 Nephi 1:7 This Land Is Consecrated Unto Him

Last updated on: February 8, 2020 at 4:08 pm By Delisa Hargrove

This week’s Come, Follow Me chapters included 2 Nephi 1. As I read, I focused on individual words that stood out to see if I was reading what the words really said. I read to find meaning I’d glossed over before. While reading 2 Nephi 1:7, “this land is consecrated unto him whom he shall bring” stood out to me. Wherefore, this land is consecrated unto him whom he shall bring. And if it so be that they shall serve him according to... Read more

The Savior Discovered His Purpose, So Can We

Last updated on: December 31, 2019 at 2:20 pm By Delisa Hargrove

I find myself reflecting a lot during the holiday season. This year, my musings really resonated with the thoughts my friend Kara Stewart shared. I loved her that just as Jesus discovered and lived His purpose, we can, too. The Following Is From Kara Stewart Christmas is a favorite time of year for most people for quite a few reasons. But I think it can boil down to two very important things—Family and Christ. It is a time for families... Read more

God’s Promises of Bread

Last updated on: December 16, 2019 at 12:39 pm By Delisa Hargrove

Anthony and I are expectantly waiting for a specific answer to a specific prayer. Neither of us is exceptionally patient. And, no, we didn’t pray for patience. In my scripture study today, I came to “Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?” Here is that verse in context of the Sermon on the Mount. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto... Read more

A Record of Moses’ Blessing The Tribes of Israel

Last updated on: November 21, 2019 at 5:23 pm By Delisa Hargrove

As a member of the House of Israel, I’ve long been interested in a recorded blessing by patriarchs for their children or their people generally. Deuteronomy 33 records the blessing Moses gave to the children of Israel before his death. I was excited to find a more verbose version of Moses blessing the children of Israel in Chapter VII, “The Last Day of Moses’ Life,” in The Legends of the Jews: Volume III: From the Exodus to the Death of Moses. The... Read more

The Well of Miriam

Last updated on: November 20, 2019 at 1:27 pm By Delisa Hargrove

While listening to a Jewish podcast, something I heard caught my attention. The podcaster and his guest discussed with total faith the existence of a well that supplied water to the children of Israel in the wilderness and then followed the wanderers on their journey. I’ve read the stories in the Old Testament, but never noted that after its initial discovery the well of Miriam traveled with the people. To summarize their discussion, after the Lord located the well for... Read more

3 Nephi 11-18: One Day with Jesus

Last updated on: November 11, 2019 at 1:32 pm By Delisa Hargrove

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland came to the Hawaii Waipahu Stake’s stake conference in October 2019. Amidst his soul-stirring speech, including Jesus’ recognition of the people’s weakness when preparing to leave them and report His ministrations to the Father, Elder Holland counseled us to study that first day the Savior visited the people at the temple in Bountiful. It’s recorded in 3 Nephi 11-3 Nephi 18. Of course, I’d read these chapters before, but I hadn’t read them in the context... Read more

25 Miles to Empty, 22 Miles to Go

Last updated on: November 11, 2019 at 6:53 am By Delisa Hargrove

One way I’ve personally decided to keep the Sabbath day holy is to avoid purchasing things from businesses on Sunday. Sometimes I need divine assistance to help accomplish that goal. I celebrate the miracles that enable me to keep my commitment. On Sunday, with driving to church in the afternoon and various spots in the morning, our vehicles had both slipped to 1/4 tank. I decided I wanted to attend a musical fireside celebrating the Lāʻie Temple’s 100th birthday. A favorite... Read more

Are You Heeding Recent Prophetic Invitations?

Last updated on: November 4, 2019 at 11:36 am By Delisa Hargrove

Am I heeding recently prophetic invitations? Do I even remember what they are? My brother Donovan recently shared thoughts about what some of the recent prophetic invitations and some of their promised blessings. By Donovan Bushman Primary kids know that Jesus told us that the wise man built his house upon a rock – or a sure foundation. Helaman talked to his sons about that foundation. He said that the sure foundation to build on is “our Redeemer, who is... Read more

Meaning of the Names of the First Presidency & Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Last updated on: December 10, 2020 at 10:50 pm By Delisa Hargrove

In the Old Testament, especially, the meaning of people’s names held great significance. Two of my favorites, Maher-shalal-hash-baz and Shear-jashub meant “To speed to the spoil, he hasteneth the prey” and “The remnant shall return.” The names recorded pointed to the Lord or warned against a path away from Him. Names are still carefully selected, sometimes for their meaning or for their sound or for their familial connection or just feeling like that’s the child’s name. In the Hawaiian culture, the...
