Doctrine and Covenants 90: 28-31

✨ What blessings have you noticed in your life as you choose to be faithful and diligent rather than idle?

"28 And again, verily I say unto you, it is my will that my handmaid Vienna Jaques should receive money to bear her expenses, and go up unto the land of Zion;

29 And the residue of the money may be consecrated unto me, and she be rewarded in mine own due time.

30 Verily I say unto you, that it is meet in mine eyes that she should go up unto the land of Zion, and receive an inheritance from the hand of the bishop;

31 That she may settle down in peace inasmuch as she is faithful, and not be idle in her days from thenceforth." (Doctrine and Covenants 90: 28-31)

And here's the commentary entitled: "Who was Vienna Jaques? : 

"Vienna Jaques was born on June 10, 1787, in Massachusetts. A woman of faith who had considerable financial means, Vienna first met missionaries in 1831. After obtaining a spiritual witness that their message was true, she traveled to meet the Prophet in Kirtland, Ohio, where she was baptized.

Vienna obeyed the Lord’s counsel to her in Doctrine and Covenants 90:28–31. Her consecration to the Lord, which included donations she had made earlier in Kirtland, came at a crucial time for the Church, when leaders were trying to purchase the land where the Kirtland Temple would be built. Vienna was “faithful, and not … idle” throughout her life and was eventually able to “settle down in peace” (verse 31) in the Salt Lake Valley, where she died at age 96."

If we are "faithful and not idle" throughout our lives, we will most likely receive the same blessings Vienna Jaques received and will eventually be able to "settle down in peace". As I continue to choose to remain faithful and not idle myself throughout my life just as Vienna Jaques did, the Lord is guiding me in my endeavors, and I will eventually be able to "settle down in peace" as well.
