1 Nephi 5 (Our Own Land of Promise)

In verse 5 Lehi states that he has obtained a land of promise. I think it is interesting that Lehi already considers the wilderness to be his "Land of Promise". After they left Jerusalem it must have been such a great feeling to be away from the wickedness and unbelief that was in that city. I think we should consider our homes and our wards "Lands of Promise". Anywhere that we are free to worship the way we choose and any place that we can be sheltered from sin and the world is indeed a land of promise.

Lehi wasn't waiting for his ideal place, or his mansion and worldly possessions. He wanted to be in a place where he could freely worship his Lord and teach his family. That was the most important thing to him.
