Talk:Hel 7:1-5

From Feast upon the Word (http://feastupontheword.org). Copyright, Feast upon the Word.

It is so sad to see how quickly the Nephites turned their backs on the Lord. It seems almost overnight the Nephites are wicked. It scares me personally to see how quick humanity turns to wickedness. I used to look at this civilization and I could never understand how they could forget the Lord so quickly. But it is such a classic pride cycle and you can see it almost everywhere today as well. I can see it in a less extreme way in my life. It seems only when I go through my trials do I truly lean on the lord. I am prideful enough to think that I can do it all by myself when things are going good and I almost forget that it is only by the Lord that I can do all things. I am so grateful for all that I have and I know that it is from the Lord but when things are well it is hard to remember and I tend to almost forget almost as quickly the Nephites just not in the same degree. --Bhardle
