Mosiah : 23
This chapter was good to read. I felt the spirit quite a bit. Some insights I had this time around were interesting...
I really wish I knew how much Alma knew about the Gospel before he was converted by Abinadi. Regardless of how much he knew, it's interesting that each decision Alma makes with his little city of people he brought with him was based highly upon written scripture. I wonder how my decisions would be affected if, before I made the decision, I thought about what the prophets have said about the matter. Pretty hard to go astray with that system in place...
I love this quote found in verse 13, "stand fast in this liberty wherewith ye have been made free". That's one of those quotes I would love to print out, make beautiful, and hang on a wall.
Verse 18 makes me wonder about why more people don't do home teaching. How fragile is the heart of man, and how easy he is to fall into temptation. If we "nourish each other with things pertaining to righteousness", it'd be a lot harder to fall.
Verse 27 has some personal importance to me right now, with some financial decisions our family made recently, with the economy doing what it's doing right now (dipping down into the toilet), I just need to stand firm in the liberty wherewith I have been made free, and know that God will deliver his people."
Verse 33 and 34 make me sick. Goes to show that things change as time goes by. If I ever met the person face-to-face who kidnapped my daughter (should she ever be kidnapped), I'd have a hard time not immediately doing everything I could to hurt or even kill that person. Of course, that's the passion in my speaking right now. Only heaven knows what I would really do - but man.. Those Lamanites, after finding the priests of King Noah, should have just killed them all. Too bad love has an effect on people - even those who are kidnapped, and forced to marry.
36-37 : Don't *ever* trust a terrorist. "We'll set you free if you just show us where our families are..." Yeah right.
Good chapter.
