Tonight I was reading in 1 Nephi:10. This chapter is just incredible to me. Lehi has a vision and he speaks of a messiah, redemeer, a savior who will come to earth 600 years away. He then goes to tell as many as he can about it. I find it so impressive the faith that he has. I am trying to imagine being in his shoes. If I were to have a vision today about something 600 years away that was to happen and then go tell everybody I could about it they'd all think I was nuts. And I understand now how hard it mustve been for lehi to get people to believe and side with him. What a righteous guy he was to be driven by his complete faith and love for the lord.
Nephi goes on to speak of the holy ghost. I am a bit overwhelmed by amazment at the moment. I find it so fascinating that these guys, from soo long ago went through the same things we go through today. And why I'm fascinated is because we are using the same powers and utilizing the same faith they did to overcome their issues and problems. Nephi speaks of the power of the holy ghost. That same holy ghost has been around for decades and it's incredible to think we call on the same one for support and confirmation.
These men are my idol. They lived in a time before Christ and were able to demonstrate an incredible amount of faith. I can only aspire to be a fraction of what these guys were. How impressive
