The Strength of the Lord

Our goal is to be at page 172, Mosiah 13 by now, but if you're not that far, don't worry. I"m just glad you're reading the scriptures. Feel free to write on the blog about any scripture that has recently impressed you, whether it's from earlier in the Book of Mormon or any of the other scriptures.

I was impressed this week with Mosiah 10:10-11 where it says: "... And it came to pass that we did go up in the strength of the Lord to battle. Now the Lamanites knew nothing concerning the Lord, nor the strength of the Lord, therefore they depended on their own strength."

It seems to me that, while we don't fight battles with swords and shields like the Nephites, that we face battles of a different kind all the time. It might be peer pressure or temptations or even feeling depressed or inadequate. But just like the Lord helped the Nephites win military battles, in his strength we can overcome the day to day battles we face and be victorious.
