1 Nephi 3:31

I read 1 Nephi 3 today and there are many jewels of doctrine in that chapter. Today, the thing that struck me most was the very end. I always thought it was crazy that Laman & Lemuel were afraid of a man that could "command fifty, yea, even he can slay fifty"- especially after they had just seen an angel of God. Fifty??? Heavenly Father certainly has the power to do far greater things than that! But I know that there has to be some application of that in my own life. Where do I fear man more than God. Where do I care more about what my friends or the world thinks than what God thinks? Perhaps in the way I dress, my nice house, my car, my "perfect" children, "perfect" marriage? Am I worried more about my image, what the world sees, than what is inside? Certainly there are times that I am. I know that sometimes I am seeking happiness in the world when I know that God has the power to grant me all the happiness I desire- sustaining, lasting happiness for eternity.
