Remember!
Elder Spencer W. Kimball, when he was a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, said: “When you look in the dictionary for the most important word, do you know what it is? It could be ‘remember.’ Because all of you have made covenants … our greatest need is to remember” (Circles of Exaltation [address to religious educators, 28 June 1968], 8). Deuteronomy 8 recounts what Moses told the covenant people of Israel about things they needed to remember and why. He also told them what would happen if they forgot those things.
