In this chapter of war, we find the Nephites having so
declined as a people, that their wickedness will now lead them to total
destruction. Even so, they had some
military success when they gathered together in cities that were
strongholds. In cities where the
Nephites weren't gathered, the Lamanites completely destroyed them.
Family is one way of gathering to protect ourselves. It is easier to destroy an individual than it
is to destroy a group of mutually minded people. Can we make our family a stronghold? We can as much as we collectively allow
ourselves to be led by our Shepherd (see v. 17).
