Moroni and James both taught that there is no "variableness" in God. We can trust that what He has done in the past, He will continue to do today, and what He is doing today, He will continue to do in the future.
“More Wise Than We”
When Moroni congratulates his critics on their wisdom, is he being ironic? After all, it's easier to criticize than to create. I think he's doing something else: modeling the humility and generosity which can help us respond productively to criticism.
Prayers and Pride
Alma lamented the memorized prayer of the Zoramites, which was an expression of pride. We can make our prayers more humble by thinking of others, acknowledging our weakness, recognizing context, focusing on service, and being receptive to guidance.
Being Wise
We often think of wisdom as something we gain over time, but Jacob urges us to "be wise," implying that we can make better use of the wisdom we have already gained. We do this by slowing down and by thinking about the potential consequences of our actions
A God of Miracles
Nephi and Moroni taught that God is a God of miracles and that He is unchanging. President Nelson encouraged us to do things that require more faith, believing that God will work miracles to help us move the mountains in our lives.
Righteous Still
John, Jacob, and Moroni all testified that the Final Judgment represents an acknowledgment of what we have become. Therefore, we need to ensure that the decisions we are making today are making us more righteous, more holy, and more happy.
Unshaken
Haggai prophesied that all things will shake and that only unshakable things will remain. Several Book of Mormon prophets taught us that we can develop "unshaken" faith, which will enable us to endure significant turbulence.
All Scripture Is Profitable
Why do you study the scriptures? Paul told Timothy that scriptures are profitable for doctrine, for correction, and to for instruction. We should study with an open mind, eager to learn what God would have us do and what adjustments we need to make.
Perfect
Mistakes are a feature of mortal life. That may be why Jesus reserved the designation of "perfect" for Himself until after His death and resurrection. We need to be patient with ourselves when we make mistakes, learn from them, and move on.
Not to Condemn
When we see imperfections in ourselves or in others, we have two choices: We can condemn, or we can forgive. God sent Jesus Christ to save us, not to condemn us. We can follow His example by looking to the future instead of dwelling on the past.
