One of the things that people often seek in this world is peace. The problem to me seems that they are looking for it in all the wrong places. They want to continue living the life that the natural man says they should live, but then they hope to reap the dividends of peace and a good life. Unfortunately for them, as the prophets have told us, wickedness will not bring happiness. (see Alma 41:10) This morning, I would like to share a thought from President Eyring on this topic.
"God has told us through his servants, the road to travel to find peace. No road leads to peace, for a person or for the world, unless it leads away from the effects of sin and Satan. Satan has always taught men and women to take what they want by taking life. I like the forthright way John Taylor, a president of the Church in this dispensation, gave us the direction to follow. He said:
"'Peace is the gift of God. Do you want peace? Go to God. Do you want peace in your families? Go to God. Do you want peace to brood over your families? If you do, live your religion, and the very peace of God will dwell and abide with you, for that is where peace comes from, and it doesn't dwell anywhere else.'"
