Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

Alma 8

Though Alma immediately returned to Ammonihah after a visit with the angel, we read that upon meeting with Amulek that -

"...Alma tarried many days with Amulek before he began to preach unto the people."  (Alma 8:27)

Obviously, the Spirit wanted Alma to prepare Amulek for missionary service.  It reminds me of what the Lord said to Hyrum Smith -

"...Seek not to declare my word, but first seek to obtain my word, and then shall your tongue be loosed; then, if you desire, you shall have my Spirit and my word, yea, the power of God unto the convincing of men."  (Doctrine and Covenants 11:21)
