And great were the covenants of the Lord which he made unto Joseph.” Since the Lord made covenants unto Joseph of Egypt, his posterity is blessed because he was faithful unto the covenants he made. Verse 5 in 2 Nephi 3 states, “Wherefore, Joseph truly saw our day. And he obtained a promise of the Lord, that out of the fruit of his loins the Lord God would raise up a righteous branch unto the house of Israel; not the Messiah, but a branch which was to be broken off, nevertheless, to be remembered in the covenants of the Lord that the Messiah should be made

And God did deliver him from evil; he was able to finish the wall of Jerusalem in the month of Elul, in fifty two days (Neh. 6:9-15). Throughout chapter 6, Nehemiah faced hardship, fear and evil.

Ecclesiastes is a book in the Hebrew Bible (the OT) that falls into the Wisdom literature genre. In it the Teacher (possibly Solomon though this is far from certain and unnecessary for understanding the book) expresses what life is like ‘under the sun’ (see 1:3). Given the three-storied view of the world (heaven, earth, under the earth) that was common during this period, the expression probably refers to life on the earth and, in particular, to life lived without reference to God.

Naaman reconsidered and became determined to receive his healing no matter what. There’s nothing to lose but much to be gained when he obey Elisha’s simple instruction.

Do to someone that has fallen in her own way got some great answers that was very much needed. The scriptures that stood out to me thru out this set of scriptures are versus “21 He hath filled me with his love, even unto the consuming of my flesh.” Don’t we all want to feel that love especially when we fell lots or we are down.

Terah was smarter than this, and gave him a servant's child, who had been born the same night. Nimrod killed the servant's baby, allowing someone to get Abram out. Abram lived with Noah for a while, but something before that, he had come to realization that God was real.

       This specific passage focuses in on introducing the main character, Samuel. Samuel is a prophet of the Lord, and these initial chapters describe the story of how he was led to become a prophet. Samuel’s parents were faithful believers.

Romans 5 begins by talking about the joy that comes from faith. It describes the willingness of God to send His son to save us despite the fact that we are sinners.

Continuing on a contrast to Adam and what his sin did to the world, and what Christ and his sacrifice did for the world, is given. For us as Christians the knowledge that we are separated from God thanks to the disobedience of Adam is truly heartbreaking, but the fact of the matter is even if it had not been Adam one of us would have stumbled along the way eventually.
