I am impressed, when I start with 1Ne 19, at those who are record keepers. I so admire their tenacity, their drive and diligence, their faithfulness. I have met, over the years, several missionaries who have access to missionary and other journals by parents, grandparents, great-grandparents and beyond and I have been impressed at the legacy which was left and the strength which those journals afforded the missionaries who read them on their mission. Being a youth during the time of President Spencer W Kimball, the words "get a notebook, a journal that will last through all time, and maybe the angels may quote from it for eternity. Begin today and write in it your goings and comings, your deepest thoughts, your achievements and your failures, your associations and your triumphs, your impressions and your testimonies." are memorised and ingrained. Alma 37:1-12 gives a greater perspective on record keeping. How do you feel about record keeping and record keepers? How has your life been benefited by their words? How are you doing as a record keeper?
1Ne 19:8-12 are a wonderful summary of scriptural teachings about the coming of the Saviour in the meridian of time.
Chapters 21 and 22 (nice companion chapters) are reassuring to me - the Lord has a plan, we have a role to play in the plan and we have his assurance about the surety of his plan. How can these chapters help you to cope with living in the latter-days? What verses are especially useful to you?
