Alma 17

(March 29, 2014)
How many times are we faced with the very challenges that we need in order to accomplish the Lord’s work?  Were it not for the Lamanites by the Waters of Sebus, isn’t it probable that Ammon would have had difficulty in converting the people of Lamoni?  When the shepherds saw their flocks being scattered, wasn’t it reasonable that they believed that this was a catastrophe and they were destined to be destroyed?  And didn’t the Lamanites who scattered the flocks at that point see their actions as victorious?

In all cases, they were wrong.  What they experienced was a blessing.  Particularly the servants, who feared for their lives – as they were given the gift of the Gospel.  Shouldn’t we look to our adversities in the same manner?
