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."

Ezra Taft Benson

1 Nephi pages 1-3

In the first verse of chapter 1 the word "nevertheless" really sticks out to me. Through all the afflictions and trials Nephi was always faithful to the Lord and never doubted. When tough times come I want to say, "nevertheless, I will follow the Lord." Lehi's readiness to act and be obedient to the Lord's commands impresses me as well. When the Lord commanded him to preach, he preached. When he was commanded to depart, he departed. When the Lord commands, Do It!
