An Insight From an Error in Perception

…Whoso would hearken unto the word of God; and would hold fast unto it, they would never perish; neither could the temptations and the firey darts of the adversary overpower them unto blindness, to lead them away to destruction. (1 Nephi 15:34)

When I first read that this morning I saw "firey doubts of the adversary…" and I thought "Wow! that sure is true." The doubts that come from the adversary are like fire and can pierce us to the very core just like darts. That's a good reason to stay close to the scriptures. It's so easy to be led astray by doubts, and so comforting to be led back by the word of God.

…They who have sought me early shall
find rest to their souls. (D&C 54:10)

If we can seek the Lord early in a problem then it's less likely to get the best of us. If we remember to seek him early in the morning, our day will always go better. If we can learn to seek him early, we will be guided by the spirit to avoid many of the firey darts and doubts and pitfalls that would normally come our way.--K
