The Lord is the same God who “dried the sea, the waters of the great deep”. He’s not flexing…He’s comforting. When we realize that, we’ll be more likely to arise from the dust, sit down, and listen to Him.
Rather than walking in the light of our own “sparks”, when we walk in the light of the Lord - things will become much better and we’ll be able to see much clearer.
One of the most important things we can understand about Isaiah’s writings is about why God wants to make covenants with his children, especially the ones who have forgotten Him.
The same patterns and elements of daily life that enabled Nephi and his people to be happy 560 years before Christ work equally well today.
Nephi wrote about some of his deepest feelings. He expressed his joy as well as his sorrow. His example shows us how we can turn to the Lord when we experience the challenges of mortality. If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here
Everyone faces temptation and feels down or discouraged at times. The prophet Nephi also felt this way. But he doesn’t stay there for long as he shows us how to respond faithfully to temptation and discouragement by turning to the Lord.
By regularly writing “the things of our soul”, it will fill us with gratitude as we recognize and acknowledge the goodness of God in our lives.
Imagine Joseph Smith’s surprise when he discovered that he was the subject of much of the amazing prophecy made by Joseph of Egypt.Much thanks and credit to @declaremyword for the video
Agency is key to the Plan of our Heavenly Father. At the end of the day - the decision is ours to see if we will have, like Lehi, “chosen the good part”.
Not all opposition is a bad thing. In fact, it may be the very thing that helps us become more Christlike.
