1 Nephi Chapter 4

Verses 7-18

Nephi finds Laban drunk and is told by the spirit to slay him. Nephi has to wrestle with himself because he knows that we are commanded not to kill, but the spirit reminds him that the Lord had provided a way for him to accomplish all things. So he did something very difficult and trusted the spirit which he felt. I am sometimes prompted by the spirit to do or not to do certain things but I am not as swift to heed as I should be. I need to remember that the spirit is a gift given to me to help me in my life as I strive toward reaching my heavenly home.
