"Thou hast had signs enough .... Will ye say, Show unto me a sign, when you have the testimony of ... all the holy prophets? The scriptures are laid before thee, yea .... and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator." (Alma 30:44, emphasis added)
Many people wonder if there is a higher power, let alone a Heavenly Father who thoroughly and lovingly watches out for us. However, everything testifies that there is a God - specifically, the Holy Prophets, the Scriptures, and all the planets!
If you ever find your testimony being shaken or lacking, my best advice to you is to simply study your scriptures! You could go on a space expedition. You could also look up all the Holy Prophets. Or, you could study your scriptures. I can't express to you how truly important they are. They really are as important as the world that we live on.
Then President Lawrence E. Corbridge said this about the scriptures:
"none of this [the scriptures] makes much difference unless it gets inside of you. All of this is only marks on pieces of paper bound together in leather; it has no intrinsic value, unless it becomes you. The purpose and essential blessing of life is to be changed to become more like the Lord, to realize the full measure of your divine potential."
I'm going to say it again: I can't stress to you how vital the scriptures are. Study them. Let them become a living part of you. Learn from the wonderful lessons and the inspired accounts of wonderful men and women serving the Lord. The blessings are too great to fully explain in my little blog.
So really. Study your scriptures.
(Oh, do you want to know what Korihor's response to Alma eventually was? Let me tell you: "And Korihor put forth his hand and wrote, saying: I know that I am dumb." (Alma 30:52) Just study your scriptures. Don't be dumb!)
