Come Follow Me- Daily Dose

Today Amulek gets tag teamed in to teach the people. We learn an important lesson about the importance of hearing when the Lord tries to reach us.

Today we learn about the power of remembering.

Here, as Alma is feeling like a failure, an angel of the Lord comes and tells him to rejoice! The Lord wasn't concerned that Alma's time in Ammonihah hadn't yielded immediate or measurable success, he was rejoicing in the fact that Alma had been obedient to what the Lord asked of him. Can you and I get ourselves to believe that the Lord is pleased with our efforts? Even on days when we...

Heavenly Father asks us to do hard things, we all get discouraged, we feel like failures at times. But we can take heart and trust in the Lord, knowing that if He commanded us, then He will find a way.

I love Alma 7, I wish we could spend the week in it! Alma teaches the people of Gideon, who were righteous, and whereas he taught the people of Zarahemla important doctrines, here he teaches the people of Gideon HOLY doctrines because of their righteousness.

Alma gave a special invitation to the members on behalf of those who didn't yet know God, and it would be so powerful for us in our day as well!

Sometimes we over complicate the commandments, Alma teaches us that the commandments are plain and simple. He also teaches that testimonies don't come by vision or miracles, but by fasting, prayer and the Holy Ghost.

The voice of the Good Shepherd calls to each of us, how can we learn to hear Him better?

Today we sit down for a personal priesthood interview with Alma!

Alma gives us the recipe for salvation, and we talk about what it means to have Christ's image in our countenances.

Alma teaches the importance of remembering and of allowing the Savior to change our hearts.

Alma gives himself wholly to the work of salvation, he is ALL IN! What are we giving ourselves wholly to?

We are warned again against the sin of pride!

The Amlicites marked themselves with red on their heads, now, I know they are the bad guys in this story...but I think we can learn a lot about making ourselves distinct and different from the world by how we are.

Alma accuses Nahor of Priestcraft and of setting himself up as a light. As teachers and parents and in our callings we must make an effort not to be like Nahor, we have to always strive to point others to Christ and then get out of the way of His glorious message.

GIDEON!!!! That amazing, rock solid disciple of Jesus Christ shows us what it means to be a defender of truth.

Nehor the Anti-Christ taught the people all sorts of half truths, and he was effective because it is so much easier to believe a half truth than a bold faced lie. This is the same strategy that satan uses in our day. He flatters and spreads half truths trying to lull us into carnal security.

Today we look at concerns that Mosiah had as he was trying to establish a new government, and they are concerns that we should have as we elect our nations leaders.

What happens to Alma and the sons of Mosiah after this conversion experience? There action shows the depth of their conversion!

What do we believe as members of the church, about being born again? In these verses the Lord makes it pretty clear.

Today we talk about the rebellion of Alma the Younger and the prayers that his father and the people offered up, which were the catalyst for his change.

Have you ever come across something that you just didn't know how to do? Alma is going to give us a pattern how to move forward in those situations.

Mosiah 26 starts out by explaining that the rising generation didn't have the same conversion as their parents because they were just little during the time of King Benjamin. It made me think, we can't count on our kids being converted because we are, we have to help them have opportunities to have the gospel sink deep in their hearts.

As we go through hard times, let's not forget that we worship a God who delivers. And even when that deliverance might not come as we hoped, lets take comfort in the deliverer.

When have you seen the immediate goodness of God in your life?
