1 nephi 17:48 - 18:4
what ways has God provided a way for you to keep His commandments?
--> i am struck with verse 41 as i read tonight. it's speaking about the story of the people of moses, that were bitten with fiery serpents. verse 41 says that to be healed, "the labor which they had to perform was to look; and because of the simpleness of the way, or the easiness of it, there were many who perished." i feel like this applies to many of the commandments. sometimes they are so easy but we fail to see the way the Lord has provided for us to keep them because of that easiness. other times they seem really hard but again we fail to see the way the Lord has provided, which in turn makes it seem harder to keep them. does that make sense? it does in my head. all in all, i'm grateful for the Spirit that i have with me all the time (when i'm worthy of it and try not to drive it away) because it shows me the small and simple ways that Heavenly Father has prepared for me to keep all His commandments. i have a testimony that there is indeed a way to keep them all. He wouldn't command them if there wasn't.
