1 Nephi Chapter 21



21:7 - "...kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the Lord that is faithful..."
This is a different way of looking at things.  A lot of the time we look at faith as being a matter of us being faithful to the Lord...but He is also faithful to us.  We receive help when we do what's required.  Nations notice.  People notice.  We receive great help from the Lord!



21:8 - "...in an acceptable time have I heard thee, o Isles of the sea..."
The Lord forgets nobody, including the furthest, tiniest island of the sea.
He will not forget us.
Let us not forget Him.



21:20-21 - The children will say, "The place is too strait for me!"
It reminds me of living the Word of Wisdom, or if you have gone to a strict school, they have a code of conduct.  For some people, the strictness is too much.  What they don't realize is that the strictness helps you to avoid situations that would put you or your reputation at risk.
We must keep the commandments if we want the associated blessings.



21:25 - "...I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save they children..."
The Lord takes our side as we choose Him.  He saves our children as we are obedient (Malachi 3:8-12).
Choose the Lord by being obedient to all principles, ordinances, covenants, and commandments of the gospel.
