Day 290
Principle: There are many levels of support, work to be one of them.
Book of Mormon Reading: 3 Nephi 7:14 - 8:4
Nephi, even though many were not listening, continued to support and preach to the people. His main message in verse 16 was responded to in various ways. As you read verses 21-26 look for those who heard his message and were converted. What did they do differently?
How can you be of support to others and invite them to come unto Christ today?
In Doctrine and Covenants 83 talks about the widows and the fatherless. This section teaches the principle to rely on the family first and then the church second. As you work to be support to your family as well as to the church, you can help lift and protect those who are in need.
Thomas S. Monson, “The Long Line of the Lonely,” Ensign, Feb. 1992, 2–5.
