Precious Things: Lehi departs into the wilderness and leaves the land of inheritance, his gold, his silver, and his precious things and took nothing with him save his family because he listened to the Lord. Much of our life is spent gaining "things," but if called upon to do so could we really leave them all behind. Makes me wonder what I should consider "precious" in my life.
Murmuring: It's easy to look at Laman and Lemuel and judge their murmuring, without realizing that I murmur many times a day (and in regards to church things as well). Ex: Why does church have to be at 9:00 or 1:00....why not 10:00? Why does it have to be so hard to get my visiting teaching done? Etc. Etc. These are little things but I think your testimony can be chipped away with one "murmuring"at a time. Maybe I should do as Nephi and desire to know the mysteries of God and pray for understanding. Even though I should know the importance of all the things I am asked to do, maybe getting an answer in prayer would cease the murmuring.
