Jarom 1

(August 19, 2013)
The thought that I always have when I read this chapter is on the importance of preparing for our challenges in life.  How many times do when have setbacks when the sole reason for those setbacks is that we weren’t diligent in applying the teachings of the Lord (particularly His command to prepare every needful thing)?  And then we bring our complaints to the Lord and our prayers for protection from the consequences of our own poor decisions.  And, like the loving Father He is, He usually helps us.  But can we not expect better of ourselves than to place this responsibility on God (even though His love is sufficient to carry us through, it doesn’t excuse us from failing to use our own feet).
