Today’s Reading: 1 Nephi 17: 1-35
13 And I will also be your light in the wilderness; and I will prepare the way before you, if it so be that ye shall keep my commandments; wherefore, inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments ye shall be led towards the promised land; and ye shall know that it is by me that ye are led.
Life can be hard and crazy and challenging. Oft times we don’t know where to turn or where to run. There are decisions to make, mouths to feed, service to perform, and a whole myriad of other duties in our lives. How do we know which path to take? Which trail to follow?
In this verse, Christ reminds us that HE is the way. That He will lead us in the paths of righteousness if we simply follow Him and His commandments. He will lead us, no matter where on the path of life we are, He is there. He is beckoning us to follow Him. He will light the path and be a lamp for our feet.
Many times in my own life, I’ve struggled with what decision to make. Where should I go for school? Who should I marry? Where should I go from here? The world can be a scary and dark place. But with His help, we can be confident in the decisions we are making. He will light our way, He will illuminate the correct choices, and we need never to be afraid.
