Hurl away our souls

Helaman 7

This phrase really caught my attention tonight...

"Yea, how could you have given way to the enticing of him who is seeking to hurl away your souls down to everlasting misery and endless wo?" (v.16)
I think I read it over like 10 times. I don't even have it highlighted, which is weird...everything around it is, but this single verse had not been touched. Why it never caught my attention before, I'm not sure.

It's so true...all Satan wants to do is to hurl away our souls to endless misery.
I've done a lot of thinking on this...and just puzzled at why I let myself follow him sometimes.
When I know where his path leads...why do I let myself go there?
Why do I not "shake at the appearance of sin" (2 Ne 4:31)

I really want to rely on God.
Trust Him.
Follow Him.

I just want to do better....
