October 8 – Worshiping the True Father Who is a Spirit. John 4:23-24 “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

It’d be rather difficult for God to appear to Joseph Smith in the form of a man considering He’s a Spirit.
If Jesus said God is a Spirit, who are we to argue? Don’t forget beloved, His word also tells us in Hosea 11:9 that He is not a man!

“They would make you believe that God and his Son Jesus Christ did not appear in person to Joseph Smith, that this was simply a myth, but we know better; the testimony of the Spirit has testified that this is the truth. And I say, beware of men who come to you with heresies that things come by laws of nature of themselves, and that God is without power. I am thankful that men who make such claims are few in number in the world, and I hope they will become fewer still.” —Logan Journal, April 7, 1914. Joseph F. Smith, Gospel Doctrine: Selections from the Sermons and Writings of Joseph F. Smith, compiled by John A. Widtsoe, 372-373.
