1 Nephi 3

Verse 7 They should write a hymn about this verse. :) I truly love this verse, it gives hope in so many ways. Including that there is no commandment given that is not achievable. Those that are struggling keeping the commandments should have this passage memorized. I think I will require it when I am working with them from now on. There is nothing too hard, too complicated, too far out of our comfort zones that we cannot accomplish if the Lord has asked us to do it. This includes giving away our sins and addictions.


Verses 29-30 This has always amazed me. I have always wondered how someone, anyone, can be administered to by an angle, and then, even before the room has lost its light, begin to murmur. How is that possible? I guess it just goes to show how quickly we, as humans, are able to forget. This demonstrates the teaching that there is nothing more powerful to the soul then being visited by the Holy Ghost. Visions, even by angles, are not a lasting as being touched by the Holy Ghost. What we see with our eyes, hear with our ears, smell with our nose and touch with our hands are soon forgotten. But what we have felt with our soul lasts much longer. It helps to have the opportunity for our testimonies to be strengthened. Thus prayer is so important.
