Mosiah 19-26Slide2

“One Sunday morning, more than a year ago, we awoke to a beautiful day in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. The Caribbean sun was shining, and the sky was clear. A gentle breeze was blowing, barely ruffling the leaves on the trees; it was warm and peaceful and still. But far out to sea, beyond the reach of our physical senses that day, the deadly destroyer was coming our way, implacable and irresistible. The Hurricane Center, with responsibility to track and predict the path of Hurricane Georges, was constantly updating the information available on the Internet. In the peaceful, placid quiet of that morning, by virtue of those seeing eyes in the sky, I saw the predicted path of the storm, aimed like an arrow at the heart of Santo Domingo.

Elder David R. Stone, “Spiritual Hurricanes,”

Ensign,

 Nov. 1999, 31–32).Slide3

“Within 48 hours the storm struck the island with intense … fury, leaving in its path destruction, desolation, and death. …

“Great as the damage and destruction and death from these awesome phenomena of physical force can be, there is even more desolation caused in people’s lives by spiritual hurricanes. These furious forces often cause far more devastating damage than physical cyclones, because they destroy our souls and rob us of our eternal perspective and promise. …

Elder David R. Stone, “Spiritual Hurricanes,”

Ensign,

 Nov. 1999, 31–32).Slide4

“But we also have our spiritual hurricane guardians, those whose calling it is to watch and warn, helping us avoid spiritual damage, destruction, and even death. Our watchmen on the tower are known to us as apostles and prophets. They are our spiritual eyes in the sky, and they know, through inspiration and insight and pure intelligence, the course these storms may take. They continue to raise their voices in warning to tell us of the tragic consequences of willful and wanton violations of the Lord’s commandments. To intentionally ignore their warnings is to court misery, sorrow, and ruin. To follow them is to follow the chosen servants of the Lord into spiritual pastures of peace and plenty”

•How does this story relate to

and Alma’s roles among the people of King Noah?

Professor

Haim

Rabin, President of the Hebrew Language Academy and a specialist in the history of the Hebrew language, once used a passage from the Book of Mormon in a lecture in English to illustrate this principle, because, he explained, it was a better illustration than passages from the English Bible.

Hebrew repeats related elements such as prepositions, articles, and possessive pronouns:

Book of Mormon EvidencesSlide10

"And it came to pass that he departed into the wilderness. And he left his house, and the land of his inheritance, and his gold, and his silver, and his precious things, and took nothing with him, save it were his family and provisions, and tents, and [he, 1830] departed into the wilderness" (1 Nephi 2:4).

"And it came to pass that we went down to the land of our inheritance, and we did gather together our gold, and our silver, and our precious things" (1 Nephi 3:22).

" . . . All mankind were in a lost and in a fallen state . . . " (1 Nephi 10:6).

" . . . My gospel . . . and my rock and my salvation . . . " (1 Nephi 13:36).

" . . . The city of

Laman

, and the city of Josh, and the city of Gad, and the city of

Kishkumen

, have I caused to be burned with fire" (3 Nephi 9:10).

" . . . All their men and all their women and all their children . . . " (

Mosiah

24:22).

Patience

Patience is being willing to submit to the Lord. When we are unduly impatient, we are suggesting that we know what is best --- better than does God. Or, at least, we are asserting that our timetable is better than his. Either way we are questioning the reality of God’s omniscience. We read in Mosiah about how the Lord simultaneously tries the patience of his people even as he tries their faith (Mosiah 23:21). One is not only to endure, but to endure well and gracefully, and submit ‘cheerfully and with patience to all the will of the Lord’ (Mosiah 24:15).

Doctrinally, what happens when we become slow to hear the word of the Lord

?

When people are “slow to hearken unto the voice of the Lord their God; …the Lord their God is slow to hearken unto their prayers, to answer them in the day of their trouble” (D&C 101:7).

Mosiah

23:21-22Slide15

Despise not the chastening hand of the Almighty: Job 5:17; Prov. 3:11;

Blessed is the man whom thou chastens, O Lord: Ps. 94:12;

The Lord chastens those whom he loves: Heb. 12:5–11;

The Lord sees fit to chasten his people: Mosiah 23:21–22;Except the Lord chasten his people, they will not remember him: Hel. 12:3;They were chastened that they might repent: D&C 1:27;

Whom I love I also chasten that their sins may be forgiven: D&C 95:1;

All those who will not endure chastening cannot be sanctified: D&C 101:2–5;

He that will not bear chastisement is not worthy of my kingdom: D&C 136:31.

Doctrinally, is being chastened by the Lord a good thing or a bad thing

?Slide16

D. Todd Christofferson

April 2011 Gen. Conf.

Divine chastening has at least three purposes:

(1) to persuade us to repent,

(2) to refine and sanctify us, and

(3) at times to redirect our course in life to what God knows is a better path.Slide17

The Origins of Trials

"Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he's been robbed. The fact is that most putts don't drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, and most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old-time journey...delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas, and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride“

(

Jenkin Lloyd Jones, as quoted by President Gordon B. Hinckley, BYU Devotional, 23 September, 1973) Slide20

Some trials are self-inflictedTrials come through other peopleSlide21

The Origins of Trials

“God actively intervenes in some destructive lineages, assigning a valiant spirit to break the chain of destructiveness in such families. Although these children may suffer innocently as victims of violence, neglect, and exploitation, through the grace of God some find the strength to “metabolize” the poison within themselves, refusing to pass it on to future generations. Before them were generations of destructive pain; after them the line flows clear and pure. Their children and children’s children will call them blessed.”

Let us remember that we were measured before we were born and we were found equal to our tasks.

“No pain that we suffer, no trial that we endure, is ever wasted. All that we suffer and all that we endure…will make us more like our Father and Mother in Heaven.”

How do you get through bad days?

“Our spiritual safety lies in turning to the clear voice of our living prophet. If we listen to his voice and obey his counsel, we will be able to live as Christ would have us live and endure to the end so that one day we, along with our families, will return back into the presence of our Heavenly Father and our Savior Jesus Christ”

I remember as a child occasionally coming unkempt to the dinner table. My mother wisely sent me to clean up and then return. My parents would have been pained if I had taken offense and had run off and I would have been foolish to do so. In the same way, the servants of the Lord occasionally find that they must, in loving concern, send some of Heavenly Father's children out the door so they can return clean once again. The Lord does not want us to "miss supper." In fact, he has a great feast prepared for those who return clean and pure through the door. He is greatly saddened when anyone decides they prefer to be unclean and miss the meal, or when they find an excuse to take offense, or when they run away. He is pleased to extend the chance to start over.

M. Russell Ballard

Sept. 1999 Ensign, p.12

Zarahemla had been united with the people of Limhi and Alma? About eighty years; see the footnotes for
