In Helaman chapter 7 it talks about Helaman's son Nephi and how much sorrow he feels because of the wickedness of the Nephites. The Nephites are desendents of Lehi and Nephi from the book of Nephi who were Prophets. For the most part in the Book of Mormon the Nephites are the more righteous group of people but now they are putting their focus on worldly pleasures instead of their God and are becoming wicked.
The scripture that sticks out to me the most is in verse 6 when it says, "Now this great iniquity had come upon the Nephites, in the space of not many years...."
How long does it take to become wicked when we lose focus....not long. I look at this scripture and realize for myself how important it is to make God my focus each day of my life. I can't afford to allow worldly things to become my focus.
How I made my relationship with God a priority today: served a friend by watching her kids, read and studied my scriptures, talked to God through prayer, donated money to the scouts, read scriptures with my family and prayed with my family, shared my testimony with my sister-in-law, read the Prophet's message from the Ensign.
Wow I was thinking I wasn't going to be able to name very many things when I began but then as I started I kept thinking of more and more things. That makes me happy that I really am making my relationship with God a priority each day! What did you do today?? Comment with the things you do each day. :)
Love,
