Mosiah 9
Mosiah 9
Zennif was the total optimist of the Book of Mormon. He saw the good in others, had courage, and was willing to fight for it. He was trusting and hardworking- and a master gardener. I like him. :)
It's such a different time- a different life. They were pleased with twelve years of peace- not having a war on our homeland for hundreds of years. We complain about politics, while they fought and died for their rights. It's crazy when you think about it.
Zeniff mentions in verse 17 that they were awakened to the remembrance of the deliverance of their fathers after twelve years of peace. It doesn't take long to forget the sacrifice of those who went before us.
And I can't imagine how he must have felt burying the dead- his family and friends. Do you think he felt responsible? Do you think he felt remorse?
What did you think/learn today?

I think the lessons to be learned from this chapter are that laziness and greed bring trouble into our lives. And that if we pray to God, we can receive answers to prayers and great strength. I mean look at these figures: 3,043 Lamanites dead, 279 Nephites dead. Being on the Lord's side is definetly the way to go!
