Day two: Bodyguard and other help is just one step away

Day Two

So I felt that I should continue on to see how the apostles in America continue to act and see what things I could learn from them. So I was reading in 3 Nephi 28 and something hit me about their ministry. They all had alined their will to Christ's and they went forth to teach their people, but as they went through to teach they had many trials such as being cast in prisons, furnaces, and pits(both with and with out animals). But it says nothing could hold them and no harm came to them and none of those things could hold them. And many people were able to hear the words and were blessed. When I thought about it they had so much success and they had so much protection how? How did these amazing blessing come about? It was because they alined their will with God's and so by acting on their desires they acted on God's and thus they were protected!
 I find it amazing that many times in my life I have asked how can I get such help or how can I be able to be guided to do the Lord's will and it is as simple as alining my will with His. To think not my will but thine be done. I know that aline all of our will to God's is a big task, but can we for one day aline our will with his one something as keeping in communication with him all day? or letting someone that day know that they are loved? start with one thing until you have a good handle with it and then add another thing with it. line upon line.

30 days, That is nothing.


If you can't tell by now I am a christian, a follower of Christ. And more specifically I am a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Typically I tell stories that have help me see how God works in the world around me and how He works in my own life. This is going to be a day by day entry of things that hit me that I read in the scriptures and things that God has brought to my mind. Just a little intro to my beliefs, A a member of the LDS Church we do believe that the the Book of Mormon is another witness of Jesus Christ and is the record of the people in the Americas (the link explains more), we also believe that the Bible is the word of God. We believe that both go hand in hand that the doctrine that they teach and we study from both of them. So when I share scriptures they will be from either of those sources or from both. Also I do be in revelation which is the insight or guidance from God about your life and knowledge about Him  and his son our savior. So I hope that these post will not only help me but will help someone out that is struggling. Because I know that he is there and that he cares about us, I know that He wants you to live your life the best you can. And I know that if we turn to Him, He will be there with open arms. I also know that the only way for salvation and going to heaven is through our Savior and by the price that he paid for our sins and dying on the cross for us.  
I know he loves us all an that we can draw closer to him!
