“And it came to pass that I beheld that the rod of iron, which my father had seen, was the word of God…”

We know the iron rod = the word of God. Why not a golden rod, showing a higher value of the word of God? How about a jewel encrusted rod?

Well, iron, although its not glitzy, it is strong, proven and known. Gold, while shiny and pretty, is not a strong metal. Also, iron is very plain, as is the word of God.

Likewise, we sometimes see glitsy advertising telling us about investment opportunities, multi-level marketing (MLM) schemes that are just too good to be true, trying to gain our attention. They are not going to lead to joy. They are not the iron rod. They ARE too good to be true. Stick to the iron rod, regular investments. Get rich slowly by keeping the commandments and working hard. Be smart with your money, but not overly risky, cause when its gone, its gone.
