Simple Things.

I was reading in Genesis yesterday and came across a verse;
"The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence."

My little pea brain couldn't wrap itself around that thought. How was the earth corrupt before God if God created the earth. I tried to delve into the scriptures but I had to leave for meetings so I figured I'd just approach it later.

Later became in Sunday school where I asked two people what that scripture meant. They were puzzled as well and didn't have an answer. I asked one more person if he had any clue what it meant and within seconds he replied, it was corrupt before God, as in, in front of God. The lightbulb went off and there was an ah hah moment. How the heck did I miss something so simple? And how many things in the scriptures are like that that people misunderstand?

With General Conference coming up this weekend I want to train myself to search for the simplicity in things. Sometimes our brains over think and we miss the answers right in front of our eyes.
