SCRIPTURE STUDY 1 Nephi 16-17

Dear READER,

I found myself very distracted during this study so it took me twice as long as it usually does to do my study and I didn't get through that much. With that said there were still a lot of gold nuggets that came from it. Hope you enjoy.


1 Nephi 16-17

• The wicked take the truth to be hard
• How great the joy when someone humbles themselves before the Lord.
• Do we follow ALL that the Lord asks us to do or do we pick and choose what we will follow and what we wont
• The Lord provided Lehi's family with the most fertial parts of land while they traveled in the wilderness
• Where were Lamen and Lemuels bow and arrows? Why was the loss of Nephis such a great deal?
• Nephi followed the chain of authority and even though his father the prophet was murmuring, he still went to him and asked "...whither shall I go to obtain food?" SUCH A GREAT EXAMPLE OF HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE
• We must first go out and do what we can and than go to the Lord
• The Liahona works through faith, meaning that the Holy Ghost works when we exercise faith
• "...by small means the Lord can bring about great things."
• We need to be grateful to the Lord for the things he has given us
• 1 Nephi 16:36, Nephis wife murmured against him -- are all wives really naggy?
• Lamen and Lemuels problem seems to be that they don't want to leave and be in a new land because they are scared that Nephi will become a kind over them and they don't want that
• With trials come blessings and with blessings come trials
• They traveled eight years int he wilderness....eight YEARS
• Irreantum means 'many waters'
• Why did the Lord have Nephi build the ship/get the instructions on how to do it instead of Lehi who was the prophet?
• It is by the Lord we are led to prosper
• Can you be preserved if ye hearken not unto the Lord?
• He that is righteous is favored of God
• The earth was created so we could love on it
• Do we sometimes not do things because they seem to simple, to easy? For example the fiery serpents and the Children of Israel. All they had to do was look and they would be saved.
• "...if God had commanded me to do all things I could do them."

Yours Truly,
