God's Post It Notes

I think they speak for themselves. :-)

Filling my lamp with oil

Intro--line upon line, precept upon precept. At first it puzzled me why Joseph would be visited 3 times and have the same thing said repeatedly. But each successing time the angel added to what he previously said. What are the Lord's servants repeating to us? And what lines and precepts are they adding to their pleas to help us progress and grow?

Nephi 1 -- When you learn or grow a testimony of something of the Lord, don't you also want to share it with others, spread it out so others can feel the peace, love and happiness it brings into your life?

Nephi 2 -- Even in Lehi's trial of faith he remembered to stop and take time to thank the Lord for His hand in their lives. He was obedient, he remembered, and gave thanks. Will I be like unto Lehi, Nephi and Sam who believed and were faithful OR will I be like Laman and Lemuel who doubted, continually murmured (whined) and were rebellious? Decide today which kind of person you will be. Do you want to be blessed and become prosperous OR rebel and be cut off from His presence, His Spirit? Believe me, if you choose the latter, you will be a much more grouchier version of you.

Nephi 3 -- Anything worth doing is worth its efforts. The Lord asks and commands, He gives us the tools to accomplish the things asked of us, will we have the faith that we can do it with the Lord's help? Or whine about how hard it is?

Nephi 4 -- Sometimes we need to take that leap of faith that the Lord knows what He is doing and that we can accomplish what is put before us. Are we living a life where our wordis worth its mettle?
