Hank Smith: 00:00 Hello my friends. My name is Hank Smith and I am the host of a podcast called followHIM. I’m here with my co-host, the Incredible John Bytheway. We’re doing a little clip we call followHIM Favorites, where we take just one piece of our Come Follow Me lesson. And we use that as our followHIM favorites. So, John section 84 is the entire lesson this week. What is your followHIM favorite?

John Bytheway: 00:25 There’s so much here, but there’s some things that I love in here that kind of sound like parts of the Sermon on the Mount. You know, why? Because they are parts of the Sermon on the Mount, but where the Lord’s just, you know, there’s a lot of anxiousness in our world. There’s a lot of worry, there’s a lot of concern, and I totally get it. But the Lord’s saying, well, look, just consider the lilies of the field. I’m in verse 82. These are beautiful little flowers, “…how they grow, they toil not, neither do they spin; and the kingdoms of the world, in all their glory, are not arrayed like one of these. For your Father, who is in heaven, knoweth that you have need of all these things. Therefore, let the morrow take thought for the things of itself.” And he’s not saying don’t think about tomorrow, but he is saying, you know what it says in the New Testament When it says thought, it says anxious concern. It means worry. Don’t worry so much. Heavenly Father’s got this. He’s got you. And these lilies of the field that do nothing, are beautiful. He’s gonna take even better care of you. So, you can just let some anxiety out, let some nervousness out. I’m gonna be okay. I love that teaching of the Savior right there.

Hank Smith: 01:34 Yeah. And today–you’ve got enough problems today Yeah. To worry about. I don’t think we need to worry about tomorrow.

John Bytheway: 01:40 He’s got you.

Hank Smith: 01:41 Yeah. Do your very best today. And tomorrow’s gonna work itself out. I love my followHIM favorite is all the way over in verse 110. There’s not very many places where you find verses up into the three digits. Right? He says, “…the body hath need of every member”. Member means part there. So our body needs all of its parts that all may be edified together. So he is talking about the church and how the church needs every single person that all may be edified together, that the system may be perfect. There’s nobody in this church that’s an appendix, right. That we can have an appendectomy and be like, we don’t need you.

John Bytheway: 02:23 We don’t need you.

Hank Smith: 02:24 Right? John, you know how important it is to have kidneys. Right? Because you’re missing one.

John Bytheway: 02:29 I’m missing one.

Hank Smith: 02:31 Yeah. And you would like to have all have it back. So we need everybody, but everybody’s also different. Right my, you know, fingers and thumbs and noses and ears. All these things are all different, but they work together and, and they need each other. So, I hope that you realize in your family, in the church that we, that you’re needed, you’re a valuable part. And we can treat everyone as if they’re a valuable part because they are. It’s almost like a choir, right John? everybody sings a different…

John Bytheway: 03:04 Yeah. Harmony is being different together. One of my favorites.

Hank Smith: 03:08 Yeah. Yeah. That fits Section 110.

John Bytheway: 03:10 Awesome.

Hank Smith: 03:11 Or verse 110. Well, we hope you’ll join us on our podcast this week we’re with Dr. Barbara Morgan Gardner. We think you’ll love it. So, you can find us wherever you get your podcasts. We’ll see you there.
