And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ......2 Nephi 25:26

In the Old Testament I read how Moses died without being able to go into the promised land, even though he could see the land before him. This was because he tresspassed against the Lord when he brought water forth out of the rock but did not sanctify the Lord to the children of Israel when he did it. Deut. 32:48-52 "And the Lord spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying, Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people: Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-bKadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel. Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel."

In the Book of Mormon I read Mormon's description of how King Benjamin, a righteous and holy man, was able to rid the land of false Christs and false prophets and speak to the people with much power and authority, teaching them the word of God, and laboring with all his might to bring them unto Christ and establish peace in the land. King Benjamin, along with other holy men who worked with him, were able to make wonderful changes in the land by helping the people to repent. We likewise need to follow their examples and help bring changes into our wicked world, to the best of our ability. W of M 1: 15-18 "And it came to pass that after there had been false Christs, and their mouths had been shut, and they punished according to their crimes; And after there had been false prophets, and false preachers and teachers among the people, and all these having been punished according to their crimes; and after there having been much contention and many dissensions away unto the Lamanites, behold, it came to pass that king Benjamin, with the assistance of the holy prophets who were among his people— For behold, king Benjamin was a holy man, and he did reign over his people in righteousness; and there were many holy men in the land, and they did speak the word of God with power and with authority; and they did use much sharpness because of the stiffneckedness of the people— Wherefore, with the help of these, king Benjamin, by laboring with all the might of his body and the faculty of his whole soul, and also the prophets, did once more establish peace in the land."

A verse with a thought booklet gives us a wonderful example of faith and obedience. When Abraham was called to go to a land to receive his inheritence, he went, even though he did not know where he was going. When we're called to do something--even something that's unfamiliar and scary to us--do we just go ahead and do it? Do we keep moving forward even though we can't see clearly where we're going? If the Lord is leading us, we need to follow His guidance and be willing to go wherever He leads. Heb. 11: 8 "By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went."
