22:9 - "...And it came to pass that the king hearkened unto the words of Gideon..."
If we are leaders over others, it is important to realize that they will have great ideas, so we should be willing to accept those ideas and run with them.
This implies, also, that when we have ideas as subordinates, we should make them known in appropriate ways to our leaders to help with decision making.
22:9 - "...the king hearkened unto the words of Gideon..."
Sometimes we need to show faith in our fellow man, in addition to the faith we show in Christ. We must work on our trust, and have faith in those people around us who can and will accomplish great things, if they only have a little trust.
22:13-14 - "...[the people of Limhi] joined Mosiah’s people, and became his subjects..."
There's a power in taking someone's name upon you. By becoming Mosiah's subjects, they agreed to live the laws and pay the tribute.
If we want to become the Lord's subjects, we will take His name upon us, and keep His commandments and laws and sacrifice what is needed. It is how we take His name upon us.
Wonderful insights - especially about sharing ideas and power in taking on someone's name! Appreciate you sharing!
