Alma 17


(March 29, 2010)
I look at Satan, tempting those brigands at the Waters of Sebus to scatter the flocks.  I think of him pushing them to do evil, and as a result of those evil acts, Ammon was able to convert the king and most of the people.  In the end, good builds itself and evil consumes itself.  Satan acts in ways that encourage the short-term evil, but the Lord works in ways that encourages the long-term good.  Even when Satan successfully tempts someone to do evil (as in this case) the Lord makes it work out for the benefit of His plan.
