We have been reading and I haven't been blogging. I want to catch up so that I will be fresh in my thoughts right after we read. So I will share my favorites from each chapter! I've been highlighting a lot in these scriptures so I can remember what I liked and mostly because they are pretty new and need some coloring.
Chapter 1: Lehi's Prophesies and challenge to his sons, he says, 23-24"Awake my sons; put on the armor pf righteosness. Shake off the chains with which ye are bound and come forth out of obscruity, and arise from the dust. Rebel no more..."
Also I like this promise that was stated, 20 "...inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments ye shall prosper in the land; but insamuch as ye will not keep my commandments ye shall be cut off from my presence."
Chapter 2:Choice and Agency was the main subject of this chapter and talks alot about Adam and Eve, we even did role play for this one so the girls could get a better idea on what happened in the Garden of Eden. I really liked in verse 4 it said, "for the Spirit is the same, yesterday, today and forever." In 11 it says there must be "opposition in all things". <--- how true is that
and so vital.
Chapter 3: The Chapter of the Josephs! Lehi is seeing things for the last time before he is getting ready to pass and speaks to his son Joseph about the special Joseph's . I truly love the Joseph's in the church history and would nothing more to name a boy of mine with Joseph some where in the name. How fun it would of been for J Smith to read about himself in verses 24-25! I wonder if it took him a while to realize it was him or he knew it right away?
