A few of my favorite things - Book of Mormon

Moses is learning his identity! He is learning Gods identity! He is Gods child with a work to do and with God- he is mighty!

Moses begins his journey to find out who he really is! He is Gods- the great I Am.

Joseph's brothers come to get food.  He accuses them of being spies.  They declare they are men who are true.  The very thing said of the Army of Helamen.  Joseph places them in prison for 3 days, then allows them to return home as Simeon sits in prison.  When they run out of food they know they have to go back, but they know they have to bring Benjamin.  This time when they find Joseph's cup in Benjamin's pack Judah offers himself to stay in place of Benjamin.  Judah who came up with the plan to sell Joseph... maybe they have changed.  Such a beautiful reunion and Joseph offers such a great example of complete forgiveness.

Joseph is without guile. It is not in his nature to turn from doing Gods will. He tells his dreams knowing they are given by god not caring what man thinks. After 13 years in Egypt he becomes second only to Pharaoh. He has proven through everything God is first in his life.

Jacob embarks on his journey and is giving temple experiences and Covenants the God will be his God. He is led to Rachel. After working 20 years he is told by God to go back to his home. Esau and Jacob have this prodigal son moment all is forgiven! God truly has walked with Jacob, been with him and blessed him for his covenanting to make God his God.

Abraham’s servant goes and through faith and prayer finds Jacob a wife. Rebekah and her family, through faith accept it is of God. Esau and Jacob are born. Rebekah knows through faith as does Jacob that he is the birthright recipient. They obey God and Jacob receives the blessing.

Abraham is told to hearkening to Sarah marriage so important no contention. Is anything too hard for the Lord- all He promises will be fulfilled. Abraham willingness to lay his all on the altar- so will we all be required!

Abraham knew he could not have “the greater blessings” he was seeking for staying where he was surrounded by wickedness- so he departed! Constantly he prayed and asked Gods direction.

Methuselah left behind- like Moroni fulfill God fulfills His covenants to parents- willing sacrifice of children. 120 age of man. Noah offered sacrifices of gratitude- God so touched. Like tithing, fast offering. God gives us everything yet blesses us even more when we give even a little back

The veil of darkness- being cut off from Gods spirit- Enoch mourns for the wickedness and suffering the earth mourns. Enoch sees Christ come to earth and atone. He sees repentance and redemption and the millennium when Christ (King of Zion) will reign, Satan will be bound and the earth shall rest - and he had joy.
