Come, Follow Me

Each of us faces trials that can feel overwhelming and at times too heavy to bear. But with the Lord’s strength, we can accomplish anything He needs us to. This week in Come, Follow Me, we learn that Zeniff and his people fought “in the strength of the Lord” (Mosiah 9:17). On the other hand, the Lamanites “knew nothing concerning the Lord” and “depended upon their own strength” (Mosiah 10:11).

“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent” (John 17:3). Those majestic words spoken by Jesus Christ have stood as a beacon on a hill for Saints of God ever since they were spoken.

I’ve always had poor eyesight. I can’t imagine what it would feel like to wake up in the morning and just be able to see my surroundings clearly! Fortunately, we have tools like glasses and contact lenses to bring me clarity and focus when I physically can’t do that myself. Sometimes, we may be affected by spiritual blindness too. It can be easy to become caught up in things that don’t really matter and lose sight of what is most important.
