Day 265

  • Principle: The Lord remembers the faithful.

  • Book of Mormon Reading: Helaman 8:11-8:28

    • Read the verses above then ponder the words of Russell M. Nelson.  


      • “When you read the Book of Mormon, concentrate on the principal figure in the book—from its first chapter to the last—the Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God. …

        “… Great prophets of the Book of Mormon—in their own way and time—testified of the divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ. Among them were the brother of Jared, Zenock, Neum, and Zenos. Testimonies of Jesus Christ that predated His birth in Bethlehem were also recorded from King Benjamin, Abinadi, Alma the Elder, Alma the Younger, Amulek, the sons of Mosiah, Captain Moroni, the brothers Nephi and Lehi, and Samuel the Lamanite. In a seemingly endless sequence of prophetic proclamations—testimonies of ‘all the holy prophets’ [Jacob 4:4] for ‘a great many thousand years before his coming’ [Helaman 8:18]—the Book of Mormon makes the solemn declaration that Jesus is the Christ, our Savior and Redeemer” (in Conference Report, Oct. 1999, 87; or Ensign, Nov. 1999, 69).

    • As the Lord remembers you so should you remember the Lord.  How can you use the scriptures to remember Jesus Christ?

  • For a quick overview of Rachel and Leah read about them in the Bible Dictionary

  • Read in Genesis 29–35. 

    • What do you learn about the faith of Rachel and Leah? 

    • What is their response to Jacob when faith is questioned?

    • How can you have the attitude of ‘Whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do?'
