Alma 37:33-37
I love how in five verses Alma preaches the Gospel of Christ and the Plan of Salvation to his son, Helaman. I also love the connection between obedience to commandments and personal revelation through prayer. Then at the end is the assurance that "if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day."
Verses 36 and 37 are were my heart has stayed this morning. It is a reminder at a time when I am really struggling with this very pattern, but I also know that there is no other way. So with a new day, my soul is a little more humble and calm, and I move forward, trusting that He will not lead me astray.

So it's been a few morning since I started this study. This is the second morning now that I've come to the topic of Israel, its gathering and other related scriptures. This morning, however, the Lord wanted me to know specifically that the Gathering of Israel was long and abundantly prophesied of among the ancient prophets, especially Isaiah (who also is one of our greatest witness of Christ from the Old Testament).
This all is in harmony with President Russel M. Nelson's recent invitation to the youth to enlist in the youth battalion of the Lord to assist in the Gathering of Israel, which is the greatest cause upon the Earth today. (Oh, how the Spirit testifies strongly of this to me this morning.)
What am I to do with this knowledge? How am I to act today?
