April 27-May 3rd: Mosiah 7-10

WOW!! What a message for us today. At this time in the world we need to remember this. We

are all captive to only ourselves as we don’t know all that the Lord knows. He
knew this would happen. He knew what people would do and how they would react. I know He knows what we will each do from this day on as well but it’s up to us ultimately. We choose what we do and how we come out of all of this.

Ammon went in search of the “lost Nephites” and what he found was them in captivity
because of their iniquities. What is holding us back or what are our
iniquities? I’m grateful for the Atonement and for the gift of repentance that
we received because of the Atonement. I’m grateful for a living prophet and for
the knowledge that he speaks with God and Christ and that I can gain my own confirmation of what is true by speaking to Christ myself. 

Through these chapters in Mosiah we learn also that choices will influence our future and those who may come into our lives. We can influence generations….so what choices will you make that will influence your posterity? Is it for their good? What changes can you make today to make a positive influence on future generations?

We may never know how our choices impact those who come after us  but how do we want to be remembered? Our choices today, just as the Nephites of old, will help guide and direct those who come after us. I am grateful for this knowledge and all that the Nephites, throughout the Book of Mormon, have taught me what is necessary to come closer to Christ. 

Here is music for this week. What choices are you making each day to better yourself, your family, and your posterity? Be sure to write down your thoughts for your record and to help in your weekly study! 

Choose the right! Choose the right! Let wisdom mark the way before.

In its light, choose the right! And God will bless you evermore.
