Mosiah 10

Verse 1-10: Zeniff and his people make preparations to protect themselves against the Lamanites. They know that they Lord will help them as long as they do all that they can for themselves. Our Heavenly Father offers us the same help against Satan but we need to make preparations to protect ourselves from his cunning ways. We need to study the scriptures and say our prayers. We need to attend our church meetings and the temple regularly. We need to keep ourselves worthy of the companionship of the Holy Ghost so we will know how to best defend against the fiery darts of the adversary.

Verse 11: It says here that the Lamanites were a very strong group of people but they didn't know God. So the strength that they had was their own strength and not the strength of the Lord. We are taught that we should trust in the arm of the Lord and not the arm of man. I find it very sad that this people didn't know who their Father in Heaven was. I want to be strong because I am strengthened by my Father in Heaven.
