1: "And it came to pass that the Lord commanded me, wherefore I did..."
Every time I study the words written by the ancient Prophet Nephi, I am truly amazed by his obedience. The statement above is the first sentence Nephi wrote as he began to write chapter 19. He amazes me. And you know who he reminds me of?? The Savior.
Jesus Christ, the ultimate example because of His obedience to His Father. I am so thankful for the words of Nephi, that remind me of how to get back to my Father in Heaven.
Today while I was visiting another sister in my ward (visiting teaching) I read these words from the visiting teaching message by Elder Christofferson:
" Obedience gives us greater control over our lives, greater capacity to come and go, to work and create."
So true!! Just as vegetables and eating healthy (although they take work and extra time) allow our bodies to be strong and healthy, obedience to God allows spiritual (and sometimes physical) strength as well. Think about it.
Love,
