Because the Nephite prophets were diligent in following the
word of God, the Lord was able to use their work to convert the Lamenites, and
also bless their posterity. Not to mention all the people who the Book of
Mormon have brought to a knowledge of the truth.
If what I want is for the Lord to be able to
work miracles through me, especially in teaching my children, then, as Alma
tells his son Helaman, I need to be diligent in fulfilling the commandments of
God. I can’t not read scriptures and not pray and not serve, and then expect
the Lord to use me in His work. Alma tells Helaman he needs to be diligent in fulfilling
ALL his words, not just some of them. It was a wherefore, like because the
prophets had listened God could use them, so you listen and God will use you.
That is what I need to do better, and what I needed to hear today. I will be
more diligent.
Alma 37:18-20
