SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
Matthew 5:11-12

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Joseph Smith

"We know that we have been endeavoring with all our mind, might, and strength, to do the will of God, and all things whatsoever He has commanded us. . . . And now, dear and well beloved brethren---and when we say brethren, we mean those who have continued faithful in Christ, men, women and children---we feel to exhort you in the name of the Lord Jesus, to be strong in the faith in the new and everlasting covenant, and [be not] frightened at your enemies. . . . Hold on even unto death" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith, p. 376).
TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY
May 10

1839 - The Prophet Joseph and his family arrive in Commerce-later Nauvoo-Illinois, and move into a log home next to the Mississippi River "hoping that I and my friends may here find a resting place for a little season at least" (History of the Church, 3:349).  The house had been built by Hugh White who had sold it to Joseph a few days earlier.  The house becomes known as the Homestead.

BOOK: Studies in the Book of Mormon: Chapter 16: A Sacred Covenant

The willingness of King Benjamin's people to "enter into a covenant with our God to do his will, and to be obedient to his commandments in all things that he shall command us, all the remainder of our days" (Mosiah 5:5), reflects a transition from one spiritual level to another.
