Alma 54-55
A single phrase stuck out to me while reading this...
"...they were surrounded by the Nephies without, and...their prisoners were armed within". (55:22)
I've been thinking a lot about progression and blessings, and inner hopes and desires.
And it's made me make some inner commitments so that those things I so hope for can come into my life. I can't express how this phrase made me feel. It just reminded me that I need "protection without"... and to be armed spiritually "within".
What I mean by that is just this...Satan is all around me. Physically he tempts me daily. I need to protect myself from temptations that beset me physically; and yet I also know that he tries to wreck me spiritually...and so within I need to arm myself so I am not beset spiritually.
I need to place up walls of spiritual fortification...
Keep reading my scriptures and pondering.
Keep paying my tithing.
Keep going to church.
Keep living worthily.
Keep communication open with Him...my Captain.
