Whenever I read this I am given new hope. It reminds me that no matter what is happening to me or around me, that the Lord is mindful of me and has my best interests in mind.
Also, I think that this is the whole thesis of the Book of Mormon. The Lord chose these people, starting with Lehi's family, to deliver, but it was according to their faith and actions.
Thoughts to ponder:
- How has the Lord shown his "tender mercies" towards me and my family?
- Does the Lord compensate for our weaknesses making us stronger than we really are?
- How can I show more faith?
