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."

54-55 2 Ne. 1:6-24

Lehi loved all of his children so much. I think sometimes we forget how much he really cared for and loved his two oldest sons. He was there when they were born, I am sure he threw them up in the air, gave them rides on his shoulders, fed them, helped Sariah with the poopy linens, etc. He wants them to be saved every bit as much as he does Nephi and Sam. He pleads and trembles with all the love of a tender parent for them. With this great love, Lehi demonstrates yet again his immense faith in the Lord when he says, "but behold, his will be done; for his ways are righteousness forever." We dont know the eternal fate of Laman and Lemuel, only the Lord does, and like Lehi, we must work and pray and leave it in the Lord's hands for His will to be done.
