Tongue of Angels

So as I am sitting here getting ready to read and post, I'm listening to U2. I love U2. I was raised on U2. I can name almost any of their songs, sing any of their tunes, remember any of their lyrics. Every road trip we went on as kids was narrated by Bono and U2. U2 is synonymous with happiness for me. Anyways, I'm listening to "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For". One of the lines says, "Spoke with the tongue of angels." WELL GUESS WHAT!

2 Nephi 32:2 "Do ye not remember that I said unto you that after ye had received the Holy Ghost ye could speak with the tongue of angels?" Okay, no I'm not saying that Bono speaks with the tongue of angels. I just found it really ironic that it correlated so well with my scripture study. True story.

But going back to the scriptures: 2 Nephi 32:3 "Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore they speak the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do." I've already shared one experience with you about how the words of Christ and His prophets told me what I should do. Since I've been little, I've been taught to turn to the scriptures and to the Lord in prayer when I need help. I can testify that there are always answers of what we should do when we feast upon the words of Christ. Whether it be the words of the scriptures, the words of the prophets, or words of the Holy Ghost, He is always there to guide us. No matter how complex or simple the situation.

"When we read and study the scriptures often, we can grow closer to Heavenly Father and understand His message to us as His children. Through the scriptures, He teaches us sweet lessons that we can use as a guide for our lives." -Elder Kent F. Richardson of the Seventy

This quote came from the Friend for October of this year. Yes, my friends, a special witness of Christ was telling the children of this church the importance of studying the scriptures to find guidance and peace. If the children know it, we should know it.
