As I think about Lehi’s Dream and its meaning. There is much richness in all of its meaning. The midst of darkness in the dream is spoken of as if it is beside the path along side of the rod of iron is common. I have found that In my journey of life that as soon as I started making choices for my own life that the mist of darkness started to be a common and normal obstruction to every thought, choice and place I go. That mist is allowed to be present in our life to help us see the importance of a constant relentless grip on the rod of iron.
Satan’s plan is to coax you to stop along our journey and take a few photos and pick a few flowers. This seem harmless and probably are but Lucifer’s plan is to lure you away from the group and isolate you so you wont have the help of others to combat his evil wiles.
Moroni teaches us that we must fortify ourselves from the relentless attacking of our enemies. Moroni did not settle with giving his warriors an Iron breastplate and head armor and a shield when going to battle. He also built higher walls and large burmes of earth to protect the Nephite cities from an enemy that was determined to destroy them. Anything extra that we can do to fortify ourselves will not be a waste.
Put on the whole armor of God. Take it upon ourselves to protect ourselves our families against the destroyers firey darts.
Jesus Christ came to the earth to atone for our sins. It is not his job to stand between us and sin. It is our duty to protect ourselves from the dangers of sin in this world. In Isiah 53 he said; “Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”
I Know these things are true!
I Love you all so much
