Originally the title of this blog was "Seeking the Kingdom of God". Why did I change it? Because the Kingdom is here now.

We must seek to be humble (D & C 5:24; 1 Peter 5:5)

Doctrine & Covenants (D & C) 5:24

Behold, I say unto him, he exalts himself and does not humble himself sufficiently before me; but if he will bow down before me, and humble himself in mighty prayer and faith, in the sincerity of his heart, then will I grant unto him a view of the things which he desires to see.

1 Peter 5:5

Behold, I say unto him, he exalts himself and does not humble himself sufficiently before me; but if he will bow down before me, and humble himself in mighty prayer and faith, in the sincerity of his heart, then will I grant unto him a view of the things which he desires to see.

Although not the original image I chose to go with this blog, I think it - indirectly - speaks to being humble. What is humility you might ask? It is defined as "freedom from arrogance or pride" and, in order to have a proper relationship with our Heavenly Father, it is essential. Otherwise, we tend to take credit for the blessings bestowed upon us and don't give thanks to the author and finisher of our salvation.
