1 Nephi 1

1 Nephi 1

After Lehi’s “first vision” he went home to collapse (home should be the best place to rest, shouldn't it?), where he received more of the vision.  Check out verse 14.  In the praise that Lehi exults to the Lord we can find a message for how we can make home a place of safety for all.  Of the Lord Lehi exclaimed, “because thou art merciful, thou wilt not suffer those who come unto thee that they shall perish.”  If we wish to follow Christ we will show mercy to those who come into our home.  Let us be merciful and not allow our loved ones to perish from our lack of mercy.
