Purpose

Some people think of the Word of Wisdom as just a list of rules about what to eat and what to avoid. But it is so much more! It is the Lord’s law of health. When you live the Word of Wisdom, you invite the Spirit into your life and learn how to take care of your body. In return, the Lord promises you great blessings.

Goal Description

Live the Word of Wisdom.

Goal Ideas

  • Read Doctrine and Covenants 89:4, and think about what the verse teaches about why the Lord gave us the Word of Wisdom. Write down the impressions you receive.
