Ok, I
think it is fair to say that capturing women and children and sacrificing them
to idol gods is something that is pretty reprehensible (to say the least). The Nephites, from a worldly perspective, were
justifiably angry at the Lamanites for what they had done. But no matter what is done to us, there really
is no such thing as justifiable anger – vengeance is His, not ours.
The
Nephites turned to their anger, profited by it for a brief season (as is so
often the case), and ultimately were destroyed by it. This is important to remember at this time
when I have so many potential justifications for anger and injustices being
thrown at me constantly. I need to
remember that there is no justification for anger, the Lord is in charge, and I
simply need to trust Him fully and completely and know that everything will
work out for the best regardless of how others may attempt to abuse or manipulate
things.
