Glory and Strength (1 Nephi 21:5)

March 21, 2006

“Yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord, and my God shall be my
strength.” (1 Nephi 21:5)

“Glorious in the eyes of the Lord.” To me, this means that if you obey His commandments you will become glorious, or rather, you will have His glory bestowed upon you—as in “this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.” (Moses 1:39)

“And my God shall be my strength.” God is my only strength. In all areas—spiritual, emotional, physical; at work, at home, as a mother, a wife. He gives me the strength to move forward.
