Honor the principle of the Word of Wisdom, and you will
receive the promised blessings.
"All saints," the revelation promises, "who remember to
keep and to do these savings, walking in obedience to the
commandments," are promised that they "shall receive
health in their navel ...
marrow to their bones" and "shall run and not be weary,
and shall walk and not faint." The Word of Wisdom does not
promise you perfect health, but it teaches how to keep the
body you were born with in the best condition and your mind
alert to delicate spiritual promptings.
And then there is a greater blessing promised
in the Word of Wisdom.
Those who obey it are promised that they "shall find wisdom
and great treasures of knowledge, even hidden
treasures." This is the personal revelation through
which you can detect invisible crocodiles or hidden mines or
other dangers.
Surely the Word of Wisdom was given so that you may keep the
delicate, sensitive, spiritual part of your
nature on proper alert.
Learn to listen to your feelings.
You will be guided and warned and taught and blessed.
