1 Nephi Ch 4 (Annabelle)

I was reading in the beginning of chapter 4 in 1 Nephi and was thinking about how hard it must have been for Nephi to kill Laban. All his life he had probably been taught not to kill and when he learned of his father's vision and of Heavenly Father it must have been made even more clearly not to kill. Yet, here he his with the spirit of the Lord prompting him to kill this man. Though in the end he did it and was blessed. I think the Lord blessed him so that he wouldn't be guilty of his kill. The Lord always knows what is best. He loves us and always will. Amen

Can you imagine how hard that would be? Nephi knew that Heavenly Father would help him do this hard thing and I know that Heavenly Father will help us do hard things in our lives, too. He does know what is best!
