Book of Mormon Challenge

The leadership of the Harvest Park 3rd Ward extended an invitation to the entire ward to read the Book of Mormon by June 28, 2014. The challenge and invitation reads as follows:

To unite, build, and strengthen the faith of individuals, families, and our ward by reading daily from the Book of Mormon over the next five months. We invite you to give your best efforts to read the entire Book of Mormon from beginning to end. We add our witness to the many promises that the Lord's servants in our day have given to those who will read from its pages, that testimony will grow, faith will be fortified, individuals and families will be healed, and personal revelation will increase.

1 Nephi 8

I have noticed that the pattern that we see in 1 Nephi 8:5-11 often happens to us today.  Lehi sees a man dressed in white who asks Lehi to follow him.  Lehi does follow him for many hours in a dark and dreary waste.  He wasn't really in any danger, but he was in darkness.  Finally Lehi prays to the Lord that He would have mercy on him.  As soon as he prays to the Lord he beholds a large and spacious field and the tree of life.  I think that we can sometimes find ourselves on the right path, following blindly without really seeing the loving kindness that our Heavenly Father is willing to bless us with if we will just turn our lives over to him completely and look to Him for guidance.  I know that in my life I am blessed according to my diligence in searching for Him in my life.  Every time I sincerely look to Him, He blesses me and shows me the work that he has been doing in my life and helps me to focus on what is truly important in order to live happily here on earth and shows me how to find eternal happiness as well.
