Daily Thought:
"When the Spirit conquers the flesh, the flesh becomes a servant instead of the master. When we have cleaned out the corners of worldliness and are ready to be obedient to the Lord, the we are able to receive His word and keep His commandments." - L. Tom Perry
Scriptures:
2nd Nephi 5:
- What does Nephi do?
Prayed and cried unto the Lord.
5-6:
- What advice does the Lord give?
Nephi should flee into the wilderness with every individual and thing that will follow and depart with him.
The Lord attempts to protect us by preventing us to make covenants we are not prepared to make.
"We cannot set off on a wrong course without first overruling a warning." - President Boyd K. Packer
6:
"Those who believed in the warnings and revelations of God."
- What are some revelations and warnings we have received from the Prophet and Apostles today?
"There is so much [inspired] guidance and direction available that you won't make major mistakes in your life unless you consciously ignore the guidance you receive." - Elder Paul V. Johnson
- How are YOU heeding warnings?
27:
"And is came to pass that we lived after the manner of happiness."
- What does this mean?
Nephi and the others lived in righteousness and happiness.
- Why would it be a life long pursuit to find happiness?
19-24:
Compare and Contrast how the Lamanites and Nephites lived.
Nephites:
* Industrious.
* Build a temple.
* Gospel.
* Followed the Law of Moses.
Passover, sacrifices, ect.
Lamanites:
* Disobedience.
* Ignore the Gospel.
20:
- What were the consequences of the Lamanites disobedience?
* Removed from the presence of the lord.
* No access to priesthood keys.
- What is the curse?
The Holy Spirit is not present.
- Why were they cursed?
Disobedience.
-What revelation did the Lord give about the Lamanites marrying with the Nephites?
The Nephites are commanded to not marry the Lamanites who rejected the gospel.
NOTE: This reminds me of the Old Testament Scripture Mastery verse where the Lord commands the Israelites to not marry the Canaanites. Possible connection?
