The Liahona

I have been thinking a lot about how God can guide us to help us accomplish that task he has asked us to do. There is a story in the Book of Mormon it talks about a family trying to follow the Gods commands,  Lehi was a prophet in Jerusalem, and the Lord commanded him to leave Jerusalem because of the wickedness of the people the city would be destroyed, and he would guide them to a promise land.  Lehi then took his family into the wilderness and one morning on his journey he woke up and opened his tent and on the ground was the liahona, it was like a compass but would piont them in the direction they should go, and as long as they had faith that it would.  It not only lead them to there destination but it lead them to food so that they could stay alive. 

The Liahona was a great tool from the Lord that helped Lehi and his family tremendously they would not have made the journey without it.  God has given us a liahona for are day to,  the words of Christ, or the scriptures.

Alma in the Book of Mormon talks about how the words of Christ guide us

In Alma 37:44-45 it says:

"For behold, it is as easy to give heed to the word of Christ, which will point to you a straight course to eternal bliss, as it was for our fathers to give heed to this compass, which would point unto them a straight course to the promised land.

 And now I say, is there not a type in this thing? For just as surely as this director did bring our fathers, by following its course, to the promised land, shall the words of Christ, if we follow their course, carry us beyond this vale of sorrow into a far better land of promise."

  The scriptures are a spiritual compass that can guide us though hard times and give us answers to are questions of are soul.  They will even lead us all the way back to are "promised land", to are eternal home with are Father in Heaven who loves us more then we could imagine.  He did not leave us alone without a guide to get back to Him he gave us Book of Mormon, The Bible, and other modern scriptures,  it will guide us in where we should do in all aspects in are life.  I know that they are true and that they are the words of Christ, and they will help us follow are savior and bring greater blessings in are life. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
