Day 9- 1 Nephi 22

What is happening?

1. Israel will be scattered.
2. The time cometh that Satan shall have no power over us.
3. Satan will be bound and the church of the devil will fall.

How does this apply to my life?

1. I think it is interesting to read these scriptures and to see them being fulfilled in our day.
2. I cannot wait for the day that Satan will have no power over us. I pray that this will be when I am raising my children because it will make life so much easier!
3. I always wonder why Satan keeps trying. He knows that he is going to lose. Why try when you are going to fail? He wants to get as many souls to be miserable with him.

Favorite Verse? Why?
Vs. 26 "And because of the righteousness of his people, Satan has no power; wherefore, he cannot be loosed for the space of many years; for he hath no power over the hearts of the people, for they dwell in righteousness, and the Holy One of Israel reigneth."
This may seem like a really weird scripture to like. The reason why I like it so much is because even though Satan is bound, the only reason why he is bound is because of the righteouness of the people. It is not that he doesn't have the power to tempt us, he just doesn't have the power to succeed because of the righteous desires that are in the hearts of the people. I think that this is just amazing. I would love to live in this day. Have everyone know that the Gospel is true and to want to live good lives! We do not have that now. At least it is something to aim for. For now, I must make so Satan has no power over me. This is the kind of woman I want to be...
