8 And we multiplied exceedingly, and spread upon the face of the land, and became exceedingly rich in gold, and in silver, and in precious things, and in fine workmanship of wood, in buildings, and in machinery, and also in iron and copper, and brass and steel, making all manner of tools of every kind to till the ground, and weapons of war—yea, the sharp pointed arrow, and the quiver, and the dart, and the javelin, and all preparations for war.
9 And thus being prepared to meet the Lamanites, they did not prosper against us. But the word of the Lord was verified, which he spake unto our fathers, saying that: inasmuch as ye will keep my commandments ye shall prosper in the land.
Interesting to apply this to today. First, if you are prepared, ye shall not fear. Those words are so true.
Also, if you keep the commandments you will prosper. The US prospered for a long time, and we have had recessions from time to time. I heard once that there have been 12 starting with the Great Depression. I wonder if each depression is started with a rise in wickedness. I know the Great Depression was, and the one in the 70s, and this one. I don't know about the 80s or any of the others.

The goal of this is to read more scriptures, think about them more, and understand them better. I hope to post as near once a day as I can. Most of the time I use muscle testing to find the specific scriptures I need to read that day.
