Having courage is
really hard for me. When I am fired up I run straight ahead, until I calm down
and then my anxiety sets in. They took courage and were determined because they
knew their cause was right. I need to be more careful that the fights I
undertake and according to the Lord’s will. I tend to get caught up in what I
think is right, and forget to ask Him if I am right. Knowing things were truly
good, and His way, would help me have more courage and determination. And if a
battle is worth fighting, it should be “with all my might.”
But then, the
lesson from the Lamenites here is not to get so distracted by the battle that I
fail to guard my base, or my home. Keeping my home safe and protected has to
always be the most important thing, or when my focus is elsewhere it would be
easy for my enemies to come in. And also, the lesson again that sleep is not
always the most important thing. I tend to feel like it is, even though I know
it isn’t. This
conference talk by Richard G. Scott from October 2014 comes to my mind all
the time, about how reading scriptures is more important than sleep. I felt
this powerfully when he said it, yet I still choose bedtime when it gets late
for my kids every night. I need to do better!
