There is power in it!

"Is there not something deep in our hearts that longs to draw nearer to God, to be more like Him in our daily walk, to feel His presence with us constantly? If so, then the Book of Mormon will help us do so more than any other book.

It is not just that the Book of Mormon teaches us truth, though it indeed does that. It is not just that the Book of Mormon bears testimony of Christ, though it indeed does that, too. But there is something more. There is a power in the book which will begin to flow into your lives the moment you begin a serious study of the book. You will find greater power to resist temptation. You will find the power to avoid deception. You will find the power to stay on the straight and narrow path...When you begin to hunger and thirst after those words, you will find life in greater and greater abundance."

46-47 1 Ne. 19:18-20:20

Of all the prophets to quote to persuade us to believe in Christ, Nephi chose Isaiah. The Savior also counseled us to study the words of Isaiah. It must be very important. Isaiah is starting to make more and more sense. I am thinking in images as I read his writings and it produces some great thought and feelings. I loved verse 18 of chapter 20 and the images of waves and a river. Peace will flow into our lives just as a river constantly flows and never stops. The waves of the sea never stop crashing into the shore they always come, consistent and unceasing. Such will be our peace and our righteousness as we keep the commandments of the Lord. "That we may always have His spirit to be with us."
