Awake
In 2 Nephi 8 it tells us to awake, awake three times. Must be important. The first and last time it tells us to put on strength. And the second time it tells us to stand up! All of which are calls to action. How are we going to put on strength? Prayer, scripture study, testimony, church, all will help us out on strength. And then we need to stand up to satan and his followers. We need to stand up for what is right even if we are standing alone! Awake!

2 Nephi 7
In verse 1 it talks about who is actually putting The Lord away? The Lord doesn't sell us, we sell The Lord when we do not do what he says and we don't follow His commandments.

Manner of Happiness
In Nephi Ch 5 it talks about how Nephi left Laman and Lemuel behind because the Lord told him to leave them and those who would follow Nephi would go with him. It talks about things that Nephi and his people are doing to help them live in the Manner of Happiness. They built a Temple, they grew food, they were taught about the minerals of the Earth...they left the negative Lamen and Lemuel behind. They had leaders. They had Hometeachers. They took care of one another. They followed the Lord. They were taught from the scriptures. They kept journals. All of the things that we are commanded to do, they did! I know that as we follow the Lord and His commandments, we too will live int he Manner of Happiness!!!

2 nep 4
The Pslam of Nephi.
I love reading the second half of this chapter. The Pslam of Nephi. The prayer that he offers up unto The Lord is pretty amazing. He praise the Lord and gives him thanks for everything and then he pleads with The Lord. He definitely shows us a good example to follow when praying!

Ch 3
Lehi is talkin to his son Joseph in this chapter. I love that Lehi took time to talk all of his children. It makes me think that we need to do the same. Have one on ones with our kids regularly.

2 Nephi 2
These have been some of my favorite scriptures for such a long time. I love the words that were chosen to describe what out two choices are, choose liberty and eternal life or captivity and death. If I could quote Sid from the movie Ice Age..."I choose life!"

2 Nephi 2: 18-
18 And because he had fallen from heaven, and had become miserable forever, he asought also the misery of all mankind. Wherefore, he said unto Eve, yea, even that old serpent, who is the devil, who is the father of all blies, wherefore he said: Partake of the forbidden fruit, and ye shall not die, but ye shall be as God,cknowing good and evil.
19 And after Adam and Eve had apartaken of the forbidden fruit they were driven out of the garden of bEden, to till the earth.
21 And the days of the children of amen were prolonged, according to the bwill of God, that they might crepent while in the flesh; wherefore, their state became a state of dprobation, and their time was lengthened, according to the commandments which the Lord God gave unto the children of men. For he gave commandment that all men must repent; for he showed unto all men that they were elost, because of the transgression of their parents.
22 And now, behold, if Adam had not transgressed he would not have fallen, but he would have remained in the garden of Eden. And all things which were created must have remained in the same state in which they were after they were created; and they must have remained forever, and had no end.
23 And they would have had no achildren; wherefore they would have remained in a state of innocence, having no bjoy, for they knew no misery; doing no good, for they knew no csin.
24 But behold, all things have been done in the wisdom of him who aknoweth all things.
I sbsolutely LOVE this scripture. It gives me much hope! That I am not just being pushed around from place to place. that He really does have a a plan for me and that He really does know that I am here and that I need Him!

6-9
What amazing verses. Saying we can not be saved save it be through Jesus Christ. For he is full of grace and truth. Nd we must have a broken heart and contrite spirit. And then I love in 8 where it says how important is it that we let the inhabitants of the Earth know all of this!! It is. It is so important. We need to share the knowledge we have.
