Day 2 in 40 Days closer to Christ

Yesterday went well I even took the time to update my blog with my thoughts on what I read.  If you haven't started yet you still can.  I recommend a paperback version of the Book of Mormon.  Then get some colored pencils and don't be afraid to write what you are thinking in the book as you read.

Here is Day Twos reading


— Day 2: ____________________   Date:  ____________________  
                                   
Read: 1 Nephi 11-15 Mark & Ponder: 1 Nephi 15:34
Scripture of the day:
“..I say unto you that if ye will enter in by the way, and receive the Holy Ghost, it will
show unto you all things what ye should do.”  (2 Nephi 32:5)
Thought for the day:
“God is weaving his tapestry according to his own grand design.  All flesh is in his hands.
It is not our prerogative to counsel him.  It is our responsibility and our opportunity to
be at peace in our minds and in our hearts, and to know that he is God, that this is his
work, and that he will not permit it to fail.” (Gordon B. Hinkley)

My thoughts after reading day two. It took me just under 30 minutes to read.
I love that Nephi did  not doubt that his father saw visions. He desired to see the visions for him self not to know that they are true like his brothers would have.  He wanted to see them because he wanted to have the same experience. He thought the visions were so precious he wanted to be a part of it.

What would be my reasoning for wanting to see the visions to prove to me they were true or to experience what I knew was an amazing thing?
