Other than that, nothing really rad happened this week. My companion is on crutches, so ANY AND ALL prayers are welcomed.
I was reading in the Book of Mormon this week, at the beginning of 3 Nephi. The Nephites and Lamanites had both become a repentant, God fearing people, and they teamed up. We have the Gadianton robbers, that straight up COVERED THEMSELVES IN BLOOD to go to war. I love how the Robbers get all happy, cuz the Nephite army fell to their knees. But it was not out of fear for the robbers. It was out of FAITH for their Lord.
3 Nephi 4:10
10 But in this thing they were disappointed, for the Nephites did not fear them; but they did fear their God and did supplicate him for protection; therefore, when the armies of Giddianhi did rush upon them they were prepared to meet them; yea, in the strength of the Lord they did receive them.
I love that last part: "Yea, In the strength of the Lord they did recieve them."
We shouldnt run away from our problems. We need to pray for strength to take to recieve them. I know that if we keep our trust in the Lord, and take our difficulties head on, WITH HIM, we can will be able to join with the Nephites in our victories.
3 Nephi 4:31-33
31 And it came to pass that they did break forth, all as one, in singing, and praising their God for the great thing which he had done for them, in preserving them from falling into the hands of their enemies.
32 Yea, they did cry: Hosanna to the Most High God. And they did cry: Blessed be the name of the Lord GodAlmighty, the Most High God.
33 And their hearts were swollen with joy, unto the gushing out of many tears, because of the great goodness of God in delivering them out of the hands of their enemies; and they knew it was because of their repentance and their humility that they had been delivered from an everlasting destruction.
