His Spirit to be with us

Alma 52-53

"And thus, because of iniquity amongst themselves, yea, because of dissensions and intrigue among themselves they were placed in the most dangerous circumstances". (53:9).

I once heard a voice loud and clear to not do something.

But I did it anyways. Out of "intrigue", I guess.

And it was dangerous, oh so dangerous.

I'm just so thankful for the guidance of the Holy Ghost. We are often told in the scriptures that we may have His Spirit to be with us...as long as we are living worthy of that. And I believe that. I also believe what this scripture says, that if we place ourselves in dangerous circumstances, we are not assured that the Spirit will stay with us.

Like this scripture...

"For the Spirit of the Lord will not always strive with man. And when the Spirit ceaseth to strive with man then cometh speedy destruction..." (2 Nephi 26:11)

And this one...

"...And if ye do always remember me ye shall have my Spirit to be with you" (3 Nephi 18: 7, 11)

Would I rather be in a dangerous place, or a safe place?

I think the latter :)
