"And it came to pass that he saw One descending out of the midst of heaven, and he behold that his luster was above that of the sun of noon-day. And he also saw twelve others following him, and their brightness did exceed that of the stars of the firmament."
1 Nephi 1:9-10
This scripture from 1 Nephi contains so many truths! I was reading chapter 1 this morning and really tried to study it to get the most out of it! I had never before really noticed this scripture! I have come to see that in each chapter in the Book of Mormon is met to bring us closer to the Savior! I connected this verse to Alma 30:44:
"But Alma said unto him:...the scriptures are laid before thee, yea, and all things denote there is a God; yea, even that earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and in its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in the regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator."
The scriptures testify that there is a God! If that is not enough then the world all around tell that there is a Supreme Creator! I love reading the scriptures and having the Holy Ghost confirm with the truth of it to me! Later on in the chapter, Lehi receives a book. As he reads to book he is "filled with the spirit." That is exactly what happens when scripture study occurs! I know that the Book of Mormon and the Bible are the word of God and together are powerful! I know that reading the scriptures fill us with the spirit, as well as brings us closer to the Savior as we read his words! I would challenge all to spend more time reading the scriptures! Make them a priority and I know that you will come to know of the divinity and love of our Heavenly Father for you as an individual!! He will fill you!!! I know that is true!!
