3 nephi 5: 20 - 6: 14
what actions can we take to help ourselves remain humble and faithful in any circumstance?
-->
i think the contrast in verse 13 of chapter 6 is interesting... it
talks about how the same things were happening to all the people, but
different people responded differently. some were humble in their
afflictions, some got riled up. some responded with faith and hope to
their trials, others turned bitter and against God. some chose pride,
others chose to be humble, and so on. in verse 14, it talks about the
righteous people being firm and steadfast in following the word of the
Lord. they were "immovable" - which is a word i've always liked because
it signifies constant and unwavering determination. and perhaps the
kicker for the whole verse and section is this phrase "they were willing
with all diligence to keep the commandments of the Lord". no matter
what they were asked, they had the resolve to follow what the Lord
wanted them to do. i have a long way to go until i reach this point of
dedication, but hope to get there someday :)
