Nov 18- Ether 9:15&22 Nov 18, 2020

Show notes

This chapter is packed full of wickedness and evil, however, it is also filled with a ton of light and goodness. Omer was a righteous good man and the scriptures specifically say that he lived most of his days in sorrow. It is possible to live righteously amid an increasingly wicked world. It is possible to find peace when there is a war raging all around you. And it is possible to choose the Savior, even when, at times, it feels like you are the only one!

Nov 17- Ether 9:1-3 Nov 17, 2020

Show notes

I am starting to see a theme here in the Book of Mormon. And it's a theme I think it is important for us all to understand. Bad things happen, even when you are doing everything right. Life is not free from sorrow and loss even for the righteous. But for those who draw near to the Lord you will be able to see His love, His deliverance and His mercies even, and especially in the hard times.

Nov 16- Ether 8 Nov 16, 2020

Show notes

I'm not gonna lie to ya, this is a hard chapter to read and a hard chapter to study. It can be depressing as we see the wickedness unfold through the verses. But remember, Moroni hand picked everything in the book of Ether for our day. Clearly he wants us to understand the strategies and works of the adversary so that we can better resist his attacks!

Ether 7 Nov 15, 2020

Show notes

In Ether 6 the brother of Jared gave pretty clear instructions to the people that having a king would cause their eventual captivity. In Chapter 7 we see that prophecy fulfilled. Watching that play out gave me a good opportunity to reflect on how I treat the words of the prophets. Do I truly see their words as the words of the Lord, or do I often place my own will above the counsel of the Lord?

Nov 14 Ether 6:9 Nov 14, 2020

Show notes

I think I have made it abundantly clear that I would not have fared well as a Jaredite on those tight boats. And judging by how not exactly joyful and upbeat I am when I am sick, I imagine I wouldn't have made the journey a time of joy for everyone aboard! I love the example of the Jaredites that is given to us here in verse 9. Despite the difficulties they never ceased their songs of praise, both day and night! It was their total faith in God that got them on the ships and their absolute faith in God that helped them find joy in the hardships. And it is our faith in God that will allow us to keep our joy and optimism even when things get tough.

Nov 13- Ether 6:6-7 Nov 13, 2020

Show notes

I am going to level with you, today's principle might be a stretch. But as I was reading the scriptures I couldn't help but relate our families to the ships on the sea. They often times get thrown around by the waves and winds of this world, but they can find peace and safety as we create families that are "tight like unto a dish," and who "cry unto the Lord" for deliverance.

Nov 12- Ether 6:4-5 Nov 12, 2020

Show notes

You guys, the journey of the Jaredites to the Promised Land sounds HORRIBLE! For almost an entire year the people were tossed around on the sea by fierce waves and crazy storms. I get seasick anytime I am on the ocean, so I can't even fathom how awful this must have been. But there is a tiny phrase in verse 5 that changes our perspective on the trials of the rough passage. It says that the furious winds were blowing "towards the promised land." There was an important purpose behind the struggle. God was taking them from where they were, to where He wanted them to be. As we trust Him we can look back on our trials and see His all knowing hand in them.

Nov 11- Ether 5:2-5 Nov 11, 2020

Show notes

"By the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established." The pattern of witnesses is a pattern that our Father in Heaven has always used to establish His word. So why should His word found in the Book of Mormon be any different? In these verses Moroni prophecies of the 3 witnesses to the Book of Mormon. And today we will talk about the testimonies that those witnesses bore.

Nov10- Ether 3:9&15 Nov 10, 2020

Show notes

The brother of Jared was a man of incredible faith, the kind of faith that lead him to act. The fascinating thing here in this chapter is that it would appear that the faith of the brother of Jared was so great that it bound the Lord to reveal Himself to him. The brother of Jared didn't ask for that blessing, it was given to him strictly by and because of His faith. Through our faith and our obedience we are able to bind the Lord for our blessings, not in a manipulative way, but our faith is what allows the Lord to pour out the blessings that He is already ready and anxious to give us!

Nov 9- Ether 3:1-5 Nov 09, 2020

Show notes

I love this principle! The Lord doesn't just give the brother of Jared the solution, He allows for his agency and asks him to come up with solutions and to put forth his effort. I feel like often times that is the case for us as well. In everything we do, our callings, our professions and in our families the Lord asks for our best efforts. And knowing that we can't do things perfectly on our own, he then multiplies our offerings and blesses our efforts.
