Day 149

Today I read Ether chapter 11. This chapter goes through all the wicked kings before Ether was born and grew up to become a great prophet. During this chapter other prophets are mentioned coming and testifying to the people about repenting before they are destroyed. One verse in particular talked about because the people became wicked, there were famines and pestilences and wars in their land. It reminded me of how opposite that verse is of what Heavenly Father teaches us, that if we are faithful in keeping his commandments, we will prosper in the land. That chapter to me is proof of what happens to a people when the decide they are better than Heavenly Father. Bad things begin to happen when people ignore the commandments.
