What is happening?
- Alma and Amulek get put into prison.
- They are forced to watch the women and children and scriptures get burned.
- The prison walls fall and only Alma and Amulek are able to walk out alive.
How does this apply to my life?
- Heavenly Father will not always do what we want. I know that Alma and Amulek must have been tortured watching those people get burned. But they did not try to stop them. They knew that Heavenly Father had a different plan.
Vs. 26 "And Alma cried saying HOw long shall we suffer these great afflictions, O Lord? O Lord, give us strength according to our faith which is in Christ, even unto deliverance. And they broke the cords with which they were bound; and when the people saw this, they began to flee, for the fear of distruction had come upon them."
I love seeing the faith of Alma. It reminds me of the moment where Joseph Smith asked God how long the trials would be upon them. Even if you question for a moment it does not mean that you do not have faith. In fact, I think it shows that you do have faith to know where the trials are coming from.
