As I read the words of Zenos praising god for His mercy because
He hears his prayers even in the wilderness, I realize that there are a lot of things
I take for granted. I know God always hears our prayers, but I don’t realize how
great an act of mercy and love it is, that He allows us to always and anywhere pray.
I am not very good and praise and gratitude. And as he goes on about how it is possible
because of the Savior, I realize how little thought and gratitude I give that. I
know that I rely on Christ for my salvation, but I tend to forget to be grateful
for how the atonement blesses me in allowing me to approach God through His grace.
The staff of Moses saving people in the wilderness reminds me
of when we read about Naman the other night, and how he thought it was too easy
to be healed by bathing in the Jordan river. I think lots of times we do the same
thing, we want to go to church and hear something amazing and new about how to be
healed, but it really is the answers we’ve been told all along, that are simple
but so important. Pray, read the scriptures, go to church, love people, and repent,
that really is the simple way that leads to eternal life. If we would just do it!
