How do we feel about the scriptures? Do we delight in them? Do we ponder them? The scriptures, the word of God, are given that we might increase our faith and know how to live a Christlike life. We are counseled to feast upon the word of God (see 2 Nephi 32:3) and live by every word that comes forth of God (see D&C 84:43–46). Remember, the word of God is the rod of iron that leads to the tree of life.
