Sunday, February 18, 2024 we talk and discussed the part where Lehi leaves a blessing for his Sons and Daughters before he passes away.

Most of his blessings were found in Nephi's writings 2 Nephi Chapter 1 to 4. The main subject of our Sunday school class was the qualities of Nephi towards his brethren where I was ask what attributes does Nephi has during their time. My answer was actually in the Psalm of Nephi were he said this line -

28 Awake, my soul! No longer droop in sin. Rejoice, O my heart, and give place no more for the enemy of my soul.

29 Do not anger again because of mine enemies. Do not slacken my strength because of mine afflictions.

34 O Lord, I have trusted in thee, and I will trust in thee forever. I will not put my trust in the arm of flesh; for I know that cursed is he that putteth his trust in the arm of flesh. Yea, cursed is he that putteth his trust in man or maketh flesh his arm.

I made a commentary about some of the Ensights that I'd learn in the Book of Mormon particularly about Nephi's attitude towards his Family Members.

We all know Nephi's courage during the times of their hardships and we all knew that Nephi saw a vision by the Angel who appeared to him about some of the future events, and one of those was  the destruction of his people. He was sad and even felt so down to see their days. And when his father made a blessings before he passed away. He made a declaration about the seed of Laman and Lemuel which he said that -

thou shalt not utterly be destroyed; but in the end thy seed shall be blessed. - 2 Nephi 4:9

Yet, Nephi did never change his value of being a good person that was born in a goodly parents. He knew those days will come and it's not a surprise to see his seed suffer much consequences because of their pride and ignorance, yet Nephi remains steadfast in worshiping the God he knew as he declared in his Psalm. Perhaps Nephi couldn't change the future but hopeful that his words will remain to be remembered to the future sons and daughters of his brethren. He truly is an amazing servant of God who endure much and still remains his faithfulness to the end.
