In verse 7 Lehi tells his children that they will be continually blessed in the land of promise as long as they serve the Lord. He also says that if they start to labor in iniquity the land will be cursed for them. At the end of that same verse Lehi says that the land will blessed unto the righteous forever.
This gives me great hope. I think too often we as Americans put too much trust and belief in our government. There are many in our country right now looking for a hand out or for the government to protect them from hardship. These people need to realize that they should trust the Lord. If we keep his commandments we will be blessed. I am scared to see they way our country is moving right now, but I know that if I put my trust in things that are eternal I have no need to fear.
Even the righteous will suffer as we start to see the last days come to pass, but if we trust the Lord we will be able to see the great promised blessings comming to us. Put your trust in the Lord and you have no need to fear. He will always be there for his true disciples.
