We learn in 1 Nephi (and really all over the Book of Mormon) that when we keep the commandments of God we will "prosper in the land".
-
20 And inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall prosper, and shall be led to a land of promise; yea, even a land which I have prepared for you; yea, a land which is choice above all other lands.
Mosiah chapter 19 made me sick. The men were such COWARDS! They left their women and their children and fledr for their own lives when the Lamanites came to attack them! How sad is that??
11 Now it came to pass that the king commanded them that all the men should
a their wives and their children, and flee before the Lamanites.
12 Now there were many that would not leave them, but had rather stay and perish with them. And the rest left their wives and their children and fled.
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised (even though I still am) because they were wicked. They knew the truth, but they rebelled against God and followed Satan. God teaches that family is everything. He knows our families will bring us the greatest joy. Satan teaches to destroy the family, he causes contention and fear. God prospers you in the land. Satan fills you with fear, doubt, insecurity, and does not and cannot prosper you.
Love,
