“Nourish Them with Things Pertaining to Righteousness”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
Spiritual strength is inseparably connected with righteousness. Many have attempted to find strength or nourishment for their spirit with some form of positive thinking. It need be remembered that the devil and his legions can both take and teach courses in positive thinking and self-assertiveness. That of which the scriptural writ speaks is a power that can be had only in righteousness. (See Jacob 6:7; D&C 121:36-37, 45-46.)
