"Humility is not something reserved to be taught only to children. We must all strive to become more humble. Humility is essential to gain the blessings of the gospel. Humility enables us to have broken hearts when we sin or make mistakes and makes it possible for us to repent. Humility enables us to be better parents, sons and daughters, husbands and wives, neighbors and friends."—Elder Steven E. Snow, "Be Thou Humble"

Humility

Today's Reading in the Book of Mormon
The BoM definitely is an example written for our time.
"For as their laws and their governments were established by the voice of the people, and they who chose evil were more numerous than they who chose good, therefore they were ripening for destruction, for the laws had become corrupted. Yea, and this was not all; they were a stiffnecked people, insomuch that they could not be governed by the law nor justice, save it were to their destruction." Helaman 5: 2-3.
Not only were they corrupting their laws, they were too proud to obey God's laws and commandments. Let us be humble enough to be obedient to His laws in all the ways we can.
